Just announced: The Junior Panthers are the winners of the first ever Psychedelic Spotlight contest on www.muzikreviews.com:
The Junior Panthers impressed us as vibrant and psychedelic rock mix that caught ours ears and imaginations. In a tough field of great
contestants they emerged as our pick for a band to watch. With the 40th anniversary of Woodstock coming next year bands like this will
have an opportunity to show everyone why thier music is so important and how it keeps the great music of the 60's, agruably the greatest decade of music for development, alive and well.
With influences such as the Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream and the Rolling Stones, the Junior Panthers like to shake it up with their own style of raucous riffs, driving rhythms, and addictive melodies. The band has toured the US with Mark Gardener (of RIDE), played festivals including CMJ, Noisepop and Mission Creek and has shared the stage with Adam Franklin (of Swervedriver), The Soledad Brothers, Moving Units, Persephone's Bees, The Pattern, Mates of State, Comet Gain, the Lovemakers, Go Go Go Airheart, Loquat, Oranger, the Love Scene, Creeper Lagoon, Imperial Teen, Whysall Lane, Bellavista, The Dilettantes, Pink Clouds, Gram Rabbit and BRMC.

"SIRENS" (2008)
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Sirens is a new limited edition cd from this fine Bay Area foursome! Our first encounter with Junior Panthers was back in 2002... no, not really all that long ago! Their band name was fitting, collegiate and energetic. Their self-titled debut album was a bright sunbeam of buoyant pop. The next we heard from them was their Derelicts cdep in 2006, and it seemed they were still destined for jangly indie pop darling status. Now just two years later, they're a whole 'nother band... still very good, but very different. Think: a lot less bounce, and more beefed up rock. Ultra drenched in reverby guitar effects, Sirens is far more shoegazerly and spacily psychedelic than past recordings seemingly inspired by equal parts My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Jesus & Mary Chain, Swervedriver and Polvo. Cool."
-Aquarius Records August 22nd, 2008
These San Francisco cats notorious for raw guitars and addictive melodies are showcasing their current release, "Derelicts". A departure from formulaic pop, the Junior Panthers aren't strung out by unusual chord progressions and frayed edges. Although the band pays homage to their influences, the melodies, hooks and feel are distinctly their own.
"...Delicious indie pop nuggets...and infectious hooks galore." -Aquarius Records
"San Francisco's Junior Panthers produce catchy, bouncy, jangly, summery pop."
-Elise Nordling, SOMA FM / RightRound
"This EP from the Junior Panthers has made perfect listening for the unseasonably warm, sunny weather we’ve had in the City for the past week, the kind of music that makes me want to drive down Highway 1 with the top down (if I had a top to put down), volume cranked to ten. The follow-up to the former Damsels’ 2003 self-titled debut album, Derelicts features five songs (and one untitled bonus track) that show the growth of the band through a solidified lineup and a greater depth to the music, while still bringing the jangly, shake-your-booty guitar pop that fans have come to rely on from this San Francisco four-piece. Clean production showcases the band’s breezy harmonies and tight rhythms as they channel Going Blank Again-era Ride, especially on “Paranormal,” with singer Edwin Gomez doing a spot-on Mark Gardner. Other highlights include the ebullient power pop of the lead track, “Pills,” and the Dandy Warhols guitar fuzz on “No Turning Back.” Call it the feel-good record of the year; the Junior Panthers will help keep things warm and sunny long after the end of our Indian summer." – Jennifer Elks, Skinny Magazine
CMJ Album Review July 2003
"San Francisco's The Junior Panthers provide the perfect soundtrack for getting through the dog days of summer: 13 well-crafted, energetic, feel-good pop songs." -Caroline Borolla
Music Spork Taste Test June/July 2003
"San Francisco's The Junior Panthers have released a sweet, sweet gem of a debut. Recalling the pop rock of the '60s with their sugary harmonies, and the power pop of the '70s with their crunchy, hooky guitar riffs, The JPs reminds me of Big Star with more of a '90s Britpop influence. In fact, I would say that The JPs music has elements of the classic shoegazer band Ride (think 'Twisterella' or something else off of 'Going Blank Again')." -Boyintheboat
"The Junior Panthers play lush, head-filling indie pop. I'm compelled to call them shoegazery, but really their sound is too upbeat to label them anything introverted and/or self-involved. As soon as I got close to the stage at the Du Nord, I found myself wrapped in pleasantly complex, melodic tunes that made me forget my ex-girlfriend, global warming and the three slices of sausage and pepperoni pizza with chili flakes I'd eaten that afternoon." -Ben Mirov, The Bay Bridged
Hope everyone can join us for this night at Cafe Du Nord:

Ciao mate , how's life ? Hope all is great there. Just wanted to let you know that I have a new release out on Sweetleaf Recordings that is actually #18 on the BEATPORT's Deep House CHART, feel free to listen to it on my page and eventually send me your feedback if you like... Cheers
I had drifted away from it for a bit but then I heard "Cover Up" come on my iPod and was like, "Whoa, who is this? Oh, it's the Junior Panthers." You know how you just drift away from things and then rediscover them, right? Nothing personal at all. Can't be a rabid fan all the time. ;)
Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
Love can drive... in a simple way... everything
We are connected
Vibejays & Friends
