JUNIUS to debut brand new song on LA's Indie 103.1 and MySpace tonight

Boston's Post Wave pioneers JUNIUS will be debuting a brand new song, "Stargazers & Gravediggers," on Los Angeles radio station Indie 103.1 tonight between 7 and 8pm PST. The track's release is intended as a sneak preview of JUNIUS' forthcoming full-length The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist, to be released early next year.

The much-anticipated album, inspired by the life and theories of controversial scholar Immanuel Velikovsky, was recorded by Tom Syrowski and Kevin Mills (Weezer, AFI, Incubus) at the legendary Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood.

"While our roots and homes are still very much back east, it seems appropriate to release the first taste of this new album in Los Angeles, where we've spent most of the last year and a half working on it," said guitarist Mike Repasch-Nieves. The band has yet to announce who will be releasing the new album, and is still in talks with potential labels while getting ready to embark on its second European tour this year, scheduled for October 30th - November 22nd.

For anyone outside of the greater LA area, Indie 103.1 can be heard live online via their website. The song will also be streaming on JUNIUS' MySpace page after 8pm PST.

Praise for JUNIUS' current self-titled album, available now from Radar Recordings / SAF Records:

“This darkly lush epic is the best soundtrack for reveling in the melancholy of actually living since My Bloody Valentine's Loveless.” - ALTERNATIVE PRESS

“Genius as far as contemporary New Wave/cinematic art-rock goes... [an] epic audio masterpiece...” - THE BIG TAKEOVER

“One of the most engaging dark rock albums to come out since Joy Division last graced a stage.” - DISCLOSURE MAGAZINE

JUNIUS is:

Joseph E. Martinez (Guitar, Vox)
Mike Repasch-Nieves (Guitar, Noise)
Dana Filloon (Drums)
Joel Munguia (Bass Guitar)

ADAI in the press...

"Adai's songs are deliberate and expansive... Mournful melodies abound... build[ing] to heart-pounding peaks. Kurt Ballou's meaty production and Seldon Hunt's eye-popping artwork round out the package." - DECIBEL MAGAZINE

"Adai defies any preconceived notion of a two-piece anything: hellishly loud, terrifically slow, strikingly abrasive, yet wholly and implacably melodic." - THE ONION AV CLUB

"[W]arm, resonant percussion to the massively textured walls of guitars and effects ... everything sounds fucking great." - AVERSIONLINE.COM

"[S]toney and droney ... big and tight. [A] more focused Isis with the production of Mastodon’s Blood Mountain." - METALSUCKS.NET

"Heavy, slow, atmospheric and wistful, ...I Carry delivers on its every promise." - THE AQUARIAN

ADAI BIO:

Adai is a textbook example of how to do it right in today's tumultuous music biz. The two friends that comprise the band are hard-working, diligent, focused and, above all, they play a compelling, passionate blend of post-rock and metal.

"[The band] originally was actually a four piece; two guitars, a bass, and a drummer. [O]ne of our guitarists and our bassist decided to leave," drummer Justin Trujillo explains. "At the time we had some of our biggest shows lined up and [guitarist/vocalist Devin Mendoza and I] decided not to cancel them and instead see if we could make the two piece thing work. [W]e got a tremendous amount of positive feedback and decided to just stick with it."

That relentless attitude is this Denver duo's M.O. For their debut EP, ...I Carry, surely they could have found a suitable studio in their native Colorado. But no, Trujillo and Mendoza weren't going to settle for anything less than perfect, so they drove their van all the way to Massachusetts to record with one of metal's most in-demand producers, Kurt Ballou (Converge, Cave In, Genghis Tron).

Since recording and self-releasing ...I Carry in 2006-7, Adai has been hitting the road hard, touring with future labelmates Caspian, Junius, and Constants, among others. During that time, the band developed a relationship with Radar Recordings, who will be re-releasing ...I Carry later this year. "We love everyone involved with [Radar] and they're easily some of the hardest working people we've met in this industry," Trujillo says.

One gets the sense that Trujillo and Mendoza are perfectionists. From working with Kurt Ballou, to tracking down Seldon Hunt (Isis) to design the sleeve for ...I Carry, to choosing to continue as a duo-- on their own terms-- when bands with lesser mettle would have thrown in the towel prematurely; Trujillo and Mendoza clearly love what they do.

"Music for us is an emotional expression and it takes a lot for us to be satisfied with what we're doing," Trujillo explains. "That in itself has been the biggest struggle over the years we've been doing this but we couldn't be happier with the results we've got so far."
