fear and loathing fanzine
Based in Zurich, Urban Junior was once (allegedly) a member of a successful Boy-band, but had a ‘creative brain explosion’ and’ changed big-time’. I have no idea if the story is true, but I hope so! This is his third LP and it’s a lot of fun. Trashy keyboards, nicked from New Wave and fucked-up in all the best ways, electronic beats, samples, vocals that sound like they’re sneering at you and shed-loads of energy and attitude. If the boy-band story is to be believed, then this is the anti-boy-band. As far away from commercial considerations as you can get, but never afraid to include a catchy hook. And surprisingly danceable… I could imagine deranged kids (and maybe a few older reprobates) wreaking havoc at their local discotheque while these tracks are being played… It just goes to show that punk rock is still mutating and still setting out to annoy all the people that deserve to be annoyed. Seek and enjoy!
