(PR) Boston post-punk / post-rock (let's call it post-wave) quartet Junius is, as you read this, putting the finishing touches on its debut full length at Henson Recording with the help of production team Tom Syrowski and Kevin Mills (AFI, Weezer, The Bravery.) The band has holed up in the Hollywood studio for over a month, slaving over every detail of the album with the working title The Martyrdom of A Catastrophist. (out Oct. 9, 2007)The forthcoming record is based on the life of controversial scholar Immanuel Velikovsky. Junius singer/guitarist Joseph E. Martinez, along with illustrator Matt Gauck, plans to release an accompanying graphic novel for the record.
Upon completing every last overdub and fader move, Junius takes to the road in its massive black albatross en route to its SAF Records/GSL showcase on October 18 in NYC during the CMJ Festival.
