Described by the NME as a cross between Blur and Genesis these post-industrial Oxfam clothes-horses are attempting to mate two very strange bed-fellows - contorted neuro-jazz and grandiose wallpaper epics loaded with fussy tempo changes Junk formed at Sheffield University initially as a 6-piece but changing line-up several times.
Released albums Cuckooland (Native Records NTVLP 11 1986) Drop City Souvenirs (Native Records JUNKLP1 1988) and singles The World Doesn't Turn Messiahs Of The Pop Raunch & Junk Town Slam.
Some of the band moved on to form King Swamp. Andy Hobson played bass for the Pretenders, Alan Russell sadly left us in 2024.
