Review from AMP MAGAZINE!
click on title for the full article
"....Openers Junebug Spade from Oklahoma City were engaging. No frills indie pop (with occasional brit-pop sounding sections), there was nothing revolutionary but in a good way. Think smart, solid rock songs. They seem like they’d be cool dudes to drink beer with and listen to them tell stories. The cool band were understated but nonetheless easily warmed up the crowd and are clearly true believers. You could tell they were psyched to be there but they were professional. Junebug Spade made me thankful that bands are still just trying to make honest music without all the bullshit that dehumanizes and pollutes so much in the mainstream. I don’t mean that to only mean “indie rock” or punk is the only viable organic music. Handsome Furs even recently helped underscore how electronic pop can still be human. It’s about if something feels authentic or reeks of being contrived. When I hear a band like Junebug Spade or a folk artist like Hooray For The Riff Raff doing something that truly sounds from the heart, it warms me up. ... " by Morgan Y. Evans
THANK YOU for the nice review!

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!

review from independentclauses.com
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.

CONCERT RECAP: 3/9 with BUILT TO SPILL
http://nola.livemusicblog.com/2012/03/12/concert-recap-built-to-spill-one-eyed-jacks-3912/
review and photos by steven hatley
Being an opening band always has its troubles. “Will anyone show up?” Or, if the room fills out by the time the act takes the stage, will they pay attention? The one thing garage rock band Junebug Spade had going for it was the fact they were opening a sold out show. The Oklahoma natives powered through 8 tracks in record time, never leaving the somewhat dense crowd unpleased.
