“Big hooks and big riffs is what Indonesian Junk is all about. Hailing from the land of Lenny, Squiggy, and the Crusher this Milwaukee ménage à trois takes the best elements of glam, punk, power pop, and heavy metal; ditches the fluff and cranks out ten tuff street-pop shakers. They’re sleazy and sincere, pairing their hymns of damaged love with dangerous guitar heroics on their full length debut.
“Indonesian Junk founder Daniel James is mostly known for his work in Ramma Lamma and Chinese Telephones, touring the continent and beyond for the past decade, as well as having filled in with the likes of Nikki Sudden, Kepi Ghoulie, Nato Coles and the Blue Diamond Band, Kurt Baker, and Direct Hit. Enlisting the help of drummer David Barootian and bassist Johnny Cyanide last year, Indonesian Junk recorded their debut 45 “Crimes” and took their unpredictably wild live show on the road. Now they’re back with ten more cuts of sick power-pop jams… emphasis on the power. They’ll get stuck in your head faster than a switchblade.”
