It’s almost like I’m reliving a moment in the 80s that I’m just not that sure of.  Like living in a fantasy, or combining the memories of Top Gun, Back to the Future, David Bowie’s crotch in the Labyrinth, folded paper football love letters, songs that had a simplicity (Expose), and emotions that were honest and put forward (Dear Diary

Back in 2005 I remember coming across Britta Persson’s first music videos “Defrag My Heart” and “You Are Not My Boyfriend”.  It was a time when being a hipster was fresh, YouTube was just emerging, and this new communicative technology allowed for international artists to share their sound and style.  Her thick black rimmed glasses and slight monotone voice set

The Junior Boys (Ontario, Canada) are made up of Jeremy Greenspan (Vocals) and Johnny Dark.  Making music since 1999, this band has produced sounds that make you want to dance, cry, and sit and contemplate life while staring up at the sky… Err well, that’s what I do.
