HEY!, We are stricktly a DIY organization. That means when you get a hold of us or try
to book a show you are actually dealing with one of the 5/6 of us, not some
agency. That also explains why we play infrequently.

Here is a quick review of the band...."Junkyard never
attained the same level of commercial success achieved by other pop-metal
acts of the late 80s like Motley Crue, but they were at least as deserving
of such success.
Mixing pop metal with classic Southern rock, Junkyard's debut album blew
me away when it came out. I was a huge Lynyrd Skynyrd fan and had long
been curious what it might sound like if a band took Skynyrd's sound
and made it heavier.
Junkyard proved to be just the band I was looking for. Songs
like "Blooze" and "Texas"
just plain rock out, while "Simple Man" really does
make you want to "grab your keys and your cigarettes and disappear into
the night" even if like myself, you don't actually smoke. "Hands
Off" is arguably the best song on the album - both lyrically
and musically this song shows what a special band Junkyard were.
Junkyard rocked and lived hard, and were said to be difficult to drag
into the studio to record albums. Thus, we are left with only two real
albums by these guys, the first of which I believe to be the best. If
you do find that you like Junkyard's Junkyard as much as I do, try your
best to find an old copy of their fine follow-up Sixes, Sevens,
and Nines.
I think me and my buddy are going to drive our assess from Omaha Nebraska to drink our assess of and if at all possible party with you guys. Like 4 hours man!
Alright guys. I finally got it together and just purchased my Platinum tickets for Rock Gone Wild in Algona, Iowa. I still can't believe you guys are going to be so close to where I live(SE MN). Of all the great bands that are going to be there, I am looking forward to you the most! 3rd row seats! Hope to see you guys in the lounge!!!
Just stopping by to let you know youre still #1 on my list and you can go check if you like , lol! Youre even before my kids, haha!On myspace , that is ! I love you guys and always will. Hope to see you sometime again, hugssssssssssss, Sandi
"Blooze" +
