Another Big Explosion
LA power trio Jr. Juggernaut is releasing their new album 'Another Big Explosion' on August 9th, 2024, under Mindpower Records. Their sound is an exceptionally current, fresh take of the fuzzy '90s alt-rock from the "120 Minutes" era of MTV, with a driving mix of melody and distortion drenched guitars, drawing comparisons to bands like Sugar, Husker Du, The Replacements, Dinosaur Jr. and early Goo Goo Dolls, along with more contemporary bands like Beach Slang and The Gaslight Anthem. "For this record, I landed on an alternate tuning that let me play thick power chords while the top strings continued to ring out, like a shiny chime on top of a chugging locomotive," says singer/guitarist Mike Williamson. "This informed the entire soundscape of the album and gave us what I think is simultaneously our heaviest and prettiest album yet." Their new single "Everything I Touch" from the forthcoming LP is now streaming on all digital streaming platforms.
