Here are a few of our songs on reverbnation. Take a listen

acoustic set on TASTING NOTES at THE SPY

This was a very cool experience.  We went to the spy and talked on the Monday night show tasting notes with Clayton the wine DR. We drank wine and compared it to our music.  We played a few acoustic songs and played a few of our music influences (Built to Spill  and Dinosaur jr).   Besides  forgetting matt's brushes... everything went great!  Thankfully, Marlena was there to save the day.  She rushed to get the brushes and got back just in time to catch the end of the first song.  This is a video Marlena shot of us in the studio it's called PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION.  


Tasting Notes is a radio show on TheSpyFM.com about pairing music with wine. It airs every Monday for one hour from six to seven. Join Clayton the Wine Doctor as we explore the best music with some great wine.

Junebug Spade @ Friends

As soon as I got back to “dirty sixth”, I hopped into Friends to watch Junebug Spade, a garage rock/ alternative band from Oklahoma City. Peter Anthony Seay II’s vocals mixed with Kyle Mayfield’s bass playing remind me a bit of Built to Spill, a band that these guys have also shared a stage with in the past. I hate to use the words garage rock because it reminds me of when I would listen to my friends’ shitty ska bands play in high school, but these guys did me a favour and gave this sub-genre a whole new meaning. It’s impossible for you not to feel the energy from these guys, much like my other favourite artists from OKC. The band just released their third EP, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which I highly recommend. I’m telling you, you haven’t heard the end of these guys yet!

Junebug Spade is everything to everyone (and that’s great)

December 5, 2011

Most ’90s radio rock was just really loud and distorted pop songs. Somebody probably would have noticed eventually that Boston’s “More than a Feeling” and Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” were pretty similar, but Nirvana self-disclosed this by at least oncesinging Boston’s words and melody over their song.

And while some a lot of ’90s bands took rock way too seriously, some simply wrote great songs; the ones that figured out rock was pretty much loud pop were among the best at this (Blur, Oasis, Nirvana, sometimes Bush) and the absolute worst (Candlebox, Creed, sometimes Bush). Live, on the other hand, took rock very seriously, and they made awesome music too. This isn’t an exclusivity clause.

Still, really loud pop songs make Junebug Spade‘s Extra Virgin Olive Oil my favorite straight-up rock’n'roll release of the year. It takes a lot to get me psyched about ’90s-inspired rock, but a good starting point is a killer melody, and JS has those in spades. Both the guitars and the vocals layer on the catchy, and the results are dynamite. When both of those elements come together on “Slow Your Roll,” it’s clear that Junebug Spade understands this: guys wanna rock, girls wanna shimmy, and everyone wants to sing along, either at the show or in their car. They provide the goods for all of that. This band makes everyone happy. That, my friends, is admirable.

The basic elements of this band are nothing new: a songwriter/guitarist/vocalist, guitarist, bassist and drummer. Bassist Kyle Mayfield is high in the mix, which is a standard ’90s move that provides a nice counterpoint to the melodies. The drummer wails away. The guitars go after it in the aforementioned awesome way. Vocalist Peter Seay caps off the sound with a slacker-tastic vocal delivery that makes it sound like he’s totally not even working that hard to deliver these songs. It’s not the sterilized/rote vocal performances that sometimes took over radio rock; there’s a non-southern drawl to his vocal, and it fits perfectly over the tunes.

All five tunes are money, but “Public Display of Affection” takes a perky, Strokes-ian riff and totally morphs it with a mega chorus. “Slow Your Roll” employs an awesome tempo change and a wicked slide guitar riff (!) to close out the EP. “Aborigine” has Blur all over the guitar line, and I love it, because Seay’s voice is nothing like Albarn’s, so it sounds like an homage and not a rip-off.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is entertaining all the way through. For a guy who doesn’t cover hardly any straight-up rock anymore, this is a pretty dramatic statement. Fans of rock shouldn’t sleep on Junebug Spade.
