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

Junius

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
