Power Trio Jr. Juggernaut Release Blistering New LP

Music Review | 16th Aug, 2024 Jr Juggernaut

With the sounds of powerful rimshot-splintered drumsticks, speaker cabinets pushed to their breaking point and snarling rock vocals the latest LP from rockers Jr. Juggernaut is a fresh take on the warm and fuzzy sounds of '90s style alt-rock.

Big Explosion is the fourth full-length album from the power-trio and contains the most simplistic and honest elements: guitar strings, drumsticks, tube amplifiers, crash cymbals, and songs crafted by inspiration and intuition.

Speaking about the album singer/guitarist Mike Williamson says;

For this record, I landed on an alternate tuning that let me play thick power chords while the top strings continued to ring out, like a shiny chime on top of a chugging locomotive," says Williamson. "This informed the entire soundscape of the album and gave us what I think is simultaneously our heaviest and prettiest album yet.

While some artists continue to lean on the latest in technological advances to further their efforts, Jr. Juggernaut realizes that its creative output can be distilled to the basics: Marshall half-stacks set to stun, brass snares shimmying with every hit, and songs penned purely from the heart.
