JUXTA

If you like your post punk downright dystopian and delightfully dirty (alliteration is my muse) then have I got the album for you.

Welcome To Your Life is the long awaited second album from JUXTA, one of the most important bands on the indie scene right now.

Combining high energy punk rock with dark industrial sounds JUXTA draws on a range of influences from Joy Division to Nine Inch Nails to devastating effect.

Welcome To Your Life will be available to download via Bandcamp and available to stream on Spotify from March 24th and it's on Ralph's 'One To Watch' list for 2017.



JUXTA is primarily one man's industrial post punk journey, whilst using guest musicians and collaborators to explore the daily mental struggles and conflict that people face in their day-to-day existence. Having become a musician late in life, 49 year old front-man JJ writes retrospectively, combining social observation and personal experience from his 20's through to his 40's creatively affording us a vivid insight.

A well needed remedy to the everyday, mundane tedium of commercial radio JUXTA aims to bring back peoples passion for music, and that's why Ralph's Indie Show on Radio KC will be featuring the lead track from the album Welcome To Your Life on Sunday February 12th.

Ralph's been a fan of Manchester trio Peur since catching their debut EP We Can Build Astronauts back in 2013 so it's with great joy that today sees the release of their much vaunted Future Architects EP. Their music has earned them airplay on BBC radio, most recently on the Huw Stephens Radio 1 show, an up-coming visit to The Shift Radio HQ, and a range of independent and commercial FM and internet radio shows including Ralph's Indie Show on Radio KC.






Peur (the French word for fear and pronounced per) are Joe Lomax on guitar/vocals, Ryan Greenhalgh on bass and Sam Tempest on percussion. 

Their influences range from Biffy Clyro to Nine Inch Nails and its clear Peur with their intense industrial sound are trying to create their own personalised vision of music.



Peur produce a captivating and relatively unique style with an aggressive yet fundamentally melodic rock tempo. A hard core British alternative rock sound with shades of QOTSA, making them a potential stand out band on the verge of success. 



With tracks like the impressively anthemic Hollow Skies under their belt it's no surprise they're making an impact on the Manchester Indie scene, so go catch them live at the date below!
