Junior Revolution

In a city where Charlie Hustle’s name still graces the downtown boulevard, a five piece emerged by removing the crutches typically associated with pivotal rock stardom - No egotistical frontman/self-proclaimed singer, no supporting cast, but instead a unified, well-oiled machine built upon a foundation of vocal harmony, versatile guitar work, and clever drum strokes. Bassist/Vocalist Brian Miller comments, “We have no front man, no person who is the center of attention. We perform as a group and all add our own individual qualities to that group.” Known for their diverse and energetic live show, they’ve shared the stage with bands such as Geffen recording artists Something Corporate, Mae, Plain White Ts, Days Away, The Kinison, Tsunami Bomb, Boys Night Out, Waking Ashland, As Tall as Lions, Northstar, and Coheed & Cambria. More recently, Junior Revolution took first place in the national Jillians/Budweiser True Music Battle of the Bands. Drawing upon a strong DIY ethic, Junior Revolution is quickly building an impressive reputation as hard-working musicians. They have self-produced two albums amid a rigorous touring schedule since 2001, performing at acclaimed venues such as The Agora Ballroom (Cleveland, OH) and Promowest Pavilion (Columbus, OH). The band has taken part in the Midpoint Music Festival, Midwest Music Summit, Emergenza Festival and appeared on the Uproar Stage at the 2004 Vans Warped Tour. Recently, the group joined an impressive roster of Indie rock bands for the illustrious compilation, Revolution on Canvas, published in 2004 by Ad Astra Books and reviewed by MTV.com. Junior Revolution is prominently featured on local radio station 97X (“The Future of Rock’n’Roll”) and The Radar Report on XM Satellite Radio. Characterizations aside, Junior Revolution's sound can be best described as blurring the lines. If Dave Grohl had played drums for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; if the Refused had set up shop with Boston; if Sonic Youth had arranged like the Beatles, they'd come close to the sound of Junior Revolution. Four-part pop vocal harmonies carefully layered amongst a wall of guitar sound, with a powerhouse drummer to keep it all together. With strong songwriting skills and a unique stage show, Junior Revolution is poised to bring their refreshing brand of rock to the masses.
