Jr Juggernaut review and full album stream up on Aversion.com

Published by Virgil May 7th, 2008 in blog, MP3s / Streams, Press and Upcoming Releases. Closed

One might think that we have been paying off the cats at Aversion.com with all the incredible press and praise they have been giving our tiny little label. After giving Ghost Buffalo’s latest, the Magician, an incredible review, Aversion just gave Jr. Juggernaut’s “Ghost Poison” just as incredible of a review. Here are a few excerpts:

Jr. Juggernaut just put out the album that Armchair Martian fans always wished Drag the River would have got around to making.

…leaving Ghost Poison exalting in a sliver between punked-up alt-country and classic-rock loving punk we never knew existed until now.

Read the entire review here. And either click the image above or click this link to stream the entire album on Aversion’s website. Thanks for all the support Aversion, we always consider it a big deal when you fancy one of our releases.

All that we ask is that if you can please pass along that if someone digs the album, please consider picking it up legally. Suburban Home and our bands count on sales of the album for our livelihood.

JR. JUGGERNAUT “Ghost Poison” CD

If checking out the album for free hasn’t peaked your interest, read the following review from Babysue/LMNOP:
Rootsy American pop/rock with guts. This is the first full-length release from this Los Angeles, California-based trio…and it cooks. Instead of dressing up like freaks and tossing out studio effects for their listeners to gobble up, these guys keep things simple and deliver their songs without unnecessary fanfare. Jr. Juggernaut is Mike Williamson (vocals, guitars), Kevin Keller (bass, vocals), and Waleed Rashidi (drums, vocals). The best way we could describe this band’s sound is to say that they sound something like Bob Mould fronting an Americana band. It is interesting to note the extreme commercial potential here. Instead of churning out noisy rock that could only appeal to young fans, these guys write hit songs. All ten of the tracks on Ghost Poison sound very much like major hits. Songs are what make this album such a thoroughly pleasing experience. Killer cuts include “Lit By Winter,” “Believe in Something” (a really great cut), “Wailing West,” and “The Beehive.” (Rating: 5)

If the review still hasn’t grabbed you, check out these 19 questions asked of Mike Williamson, the band’s frontman by our very own Andy Thomas. He elaborates on such questions as Cash or Dylan, Greatest song ever, thoughts on Insane Clown Posse, and more. Check this out here.

“Ghost Poison” is a kick ass rock record and we really want people to hear it. If you like what you hear, remember you can order the album from us as part of our 5 for $25 or 10 for $50 sales:

Suburban Home Pick 10 for $50 Sale (CDs, Pint Glasses)
Suburban Home Pick 5 for $25 Sale (CDs, Pint Glasses)

You can also find it in most mom and pop retailers. We truly love this album and know you will too if you give it a good listen.

Quite Possibly the Greatest Tour to Ever, Seriously

Published by Virgil April 30th, 2008 in blog and Tour Dates. Closed

Tim Barry had hinted that he was about to tell me about a tour that would blow my mind and I must say he delivered. Tim Barry will be touring with Ben Nichols of Lucero and Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music for a full u.s. tour in September/October. HOW FUCKING INCREDIBLE IS THAT? This is one of the most incredible tours I have ever heard of and one of our acts is on the tour. Not only will each guy do their own sets, but they will also be sharing the stage together and doing songs. Dates have not been announced yet, but I just hope that I will be able to catch more than one show on this tour. We will be posting dates as soon as we get them.

I have always measured great bands and shows by their ability to make me want to drink and this show gets a 12 out of 10 on the let’s drink scale.

Read Tim’s blog about the tour which includes comments from Chuck, Ben and Tim:

CHUCK RAGAN, TIM BARRY, BEN NICHOLS TOUR!!!

A Quick Recap of our trip to IKEA

Published by Virgil April 30th, 2008 in blog and Behind the Scenes. 0 Comments

So we not only survived out trip to Salt Lake City, but we had an absolute blast. Only Thunder were kind enough to let me travel with them and to allow us to pick up a bunch of crap from IKEA for our new offices. Here is a quick recap:

A 30 pack of PBR on our way to Grand Junction and the Vinyl Collective beer cozies, I guess you can say we tested them out to make sure they did in fact keep beer cold.
We collectively made an on the go playlist on Justin’s IPOD which included Portugal the Man, Small Brown Bike, Paula Abd
