I realize it has been a while since an update and I apologize but we’ve been so stinking busy lately that is has been very difficult to find the time. Anyway, I wanted to clue you in to some Junk News…We’re working with a booking company called “Distractions” to set up shows for the year and we hope the gigs will cover the region nicely. There should be some shows booked in all the surrounding states including North and South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin and maybe some more. We’ve got some killer new tunes to unleash upon the music community and we are very stoked about the new material. That’s about it for now but check back for more updates in the coming weeks and get ready for some Junk!

It was a great show! We played 3 new tunes along with a bunch of junk classics. Conrad notified everybody in the audience that he would likely make a fool of himself before we played Bikeage and he succeeded by falling over my drum set and ultimately kicking his own ass.

Junk sticker in the toilet.The crowd was the best one we’ve seen lately with some awesome interaction between us and the audience, in fact, I think I heard somebody say, “you guys are fat!” Ain’t that the truth. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that came out and helped support us this year, without you guys coming to the shows, we couldn’t keep doing it, Thank You! During our hiatus we’ll be writing and perfecting a bunch of new tunes that will be going on the upcoming record so we are very excited. Check back to Amerikanjunk.com for more updates. See you in the streets!

We’ll rock them out at our October 19th show as well as a surprise Descendants song (come to the show to find out the song). During our upcoming break we’ll put together something like 15 more songs and begin the recording process. Probably take some time but keep checking back for further updates as they come. I’ve also gotten an idea from a friend to produce some political flavored Junk videos so that may also come down the pipe as well as a new photo shoot which has been in planning for the last 2 months. I’ll let yall know.

Here’s a priceless morsel from a roadshow. I don’t remember exactly where this was, but I know it’s in a hotel somewhere. I love you Conrad! (He’s gonna kill me.)


"Dude, you're a dick!"I snapped this pic of Brent last night while he was shaving! Apparently he didn’t want me to take his picture. I guess now I better watch my back since I’ve posted all these pics of my band mates in compromising positions, I’m sure I’ll get mine. Bring it on bitches!

Punk band. Meaning as long as we maintain creative control, we are D.I.Y. As long as we book our own shows whether we have a booking manager or not (we don’t), we are D.I.Y.  Major labels don’t do anything that we can’t do besides throw money at problems and screw people over. Just a little rant. D.I.Y. or DIE! That’s just the way it is for Junk.
