JUNKHOUSE

LEGENDARY CANADIAN INDIE ICONS RETURN WITH A RARE AND EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE

Junkhouse emerged from the Canadian rock scene in the late 1980s, quickly establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of alternative rock. With their soulful, gritty sound and poetic lyrics, Junkhouse captured the hearts of music enthusiasts worldwide. Led by the charismatic Tom Wilson, this band created a unique sonic landscape that resonated with a diverse audience.

Formed in 1989, Junkhouse was a collective of seasoned musicians hailing from different corners of the Canadian music scene. Tom Wilson, known for his distinctive gravelly voice and evocative songwriting, served as the group’s frontman. His powerful presence on stage and ability to connect with audiences became one of Junkhouse’s defining features. The late Dan Achen’s lead guitar work brought a dynamic edge to the band’s sound, weaving intricate melodies and searing solos into their songs. Bassist Russ Wilson and drummer Ray Farrugia provided the tight, rhythmic backbone that anchored the band’s performances and studio recordings.

Junkhouse’s music was a potent blend of rock, blues, and folk influences, creating a sound that was both raw and melodic. Their debut album, “Strays,” released in 1993, showcased their distinctive style and produced the hit singles “Out of My Head ” and “Praying For The Rain” The songs received extensive radio play and catapulted Junkhouse to national recognition.

Following their successful debut, Junkhouse released several more albums, including “Birthday Boy” (1995) and “Fuzz” (1997) featuring the hit song “Shine”. Each release demonstrated the band’s evolution and their commitment to pushing musical boundaries while staying true to their roots.

Their live performances were legendary, characterised by Tom Wilson’s magnetic stage presence and the band’s tight-knit musical chemistry. Throughout their career, Junkhouse earned critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase, solidifying their place in Canadian rock history.
