Biography
(From Origivation Magazine)
"When first you hear Alright, Junior, you may be intangibly tossed into a back in da day vortex, liberating early 90s grunge rock n’ roll, lathered in crippling Smashing Pumpkins riffs and caliginous Alice in Chains vocals. They have endurance, there’s no doubt in that, extolling their engendered appreciation for the last “good” era of rock music with all the spasmodic moves of an undomesticated bronco." (Origivation Spring 2007)
When you talk to the members of Alright Junior, you realize that with music, sometimes timing is everything. “You get the feeling with this band”, says front man Jace Miller, “that something special is happening” Formed by members of 3 former Philadelphia Alternative Rock acts , Alright Junior began in the spring of 2006, when drummer Mike Fraclose and guitarist Steve DeMeo (formerly of The Rebel Saints) began writing and rehearsing with Miller (formerly of Juliet). With the later addition of bassist Greg Javonovich (formerly of Pennant Race), and with new material already in tow, Alright Junior burst onto the Philly scene, playing shows in familiar venues to surprisingly large crowds. Says DeMeo, “for a band that at the time was only 2 months old, we couldn’t believe the response from the first few shows.” “We realized that our old fan bases from the other bands were coming out as one in support of the new project.”, says Miller. For promoters, writers, radio personalities and fans alike in the Philadelphia area, it became obvious from the start that Alright Junior wasn’t truly a “new” act, but rather local music vets who were hell bent on stirring up the local music scene.
Early after their inception, Alright Junior caught the attention of producer Joe Mattis of label Slugfest records, when Mattis saw the band open for national headliner Sponge. Mattis was impressed by the raw talent, stage presence and young energy of the new band. Work began on an LP engineered by Kevin Williams at Slugfest’s recording studio in Spring City, PA. The first single “Up in Flames” quickly received airplay on Philadelphia’s 93.3 WMMR and Delaware’s 93.7 WSTW. After signing to Slugfest in August of 2006, Alright Junior was poised to take their music to the next level.
Released in February 2007 release, Alright Junior’s debut LP features 10 songs showcasing the band’s unique alternative rock sound. The album opens on a strong note with the blistering “Sinner of The State” which is a perfect example of the Alright Junior sound; Buzzing, frantic guitars and pounding drums with melodic choruses reminiscent of The Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins that gives you that “stuck in you head feeling”. The next track, “26 to Start” continues the band''s march forward with Miller and DeMeo driving home another alt rock hit. The album''s first single “Up In Flames” shows you why Miller is a vocalist most rock bands would dream of having. With it’s soaring choruses and raspy vocals, the band delivers a urgent feeling, yet focused track that has already found its way onto the radio airwaves. The LP also includes with “Mouths of A Herd” a powerful rhythmic tune with a punk feel, and “Better Off” a scratchy ballad where Miller channels a Brandon Boyd like vocal quality.
After a whirlwind start, with their new LP in hand and the support of Slugfest Records, Alright Junior feels they are poised for bigger and better things. “The support of our fans have taken us so far in such a short time” says Miller, “we want to work as hard as we can right to keep this thing going.” After all, sometimes in music timing is everything.
