When Sunday Junkie formed a little more than a year ago, the Worcester duo’s initial creative vision expanded far beyond simple genre conventions. That vision takes place through the band’s self-titled debut album and is a reflection of the personal experiences of its two members, a pair of Boston scene veterans who came together to unleash pent-up caustic tension through something new. The result is a stirred Molotov cocktail of gritty noise, a torrent of blissful agitation that corrals moody genre lanes of post-punk, emo, ‘90s alternative, post-hardcore, and whatever else from the duo.
Bandmember Tom Martin shared the following:
“Our sound emerged purely unintentionally – it’s just a pretty faithful expression of our influences and where we’re at in terms of writing abilities. I’ve never been a fan of trying to sound like xyz, or feel like we need to stay within certain parameters of a genre, but rather letting the songs just happen as they’re meant to.”
