NEW STUFF

Monsterous

We’re happy to be unleashing the debut four song EP from Hamilton’s Monster Truck all over the internet today. Comprised of guys from a bunch of other successful Southern Ontario bands, Monster Truck started as a joke and became a truly awesome band. When Jeremy asked us to host the record, we were stoked, and when we saw the cover art, we were stoked-er. You can also check Jeremy out doing his rock and roll day job thing in this episode of Talk Show Night. And then you can rip figure eights in a field somewhere while crushing out this EP.

END HITS: New frontiers, same internet»

We started JUICEBOXdotcom because we wanted to have the freedom to be creative with our writing right out of school. In what is either a self-fulfilling prophecy or just substantial luck, our paying-job lives have slowly taken over that hole in our hearts and allowed us to express our interests, creatively, in exchange for money.

That Time of the Year»

Take a look around. Things looking different? We know. Barely. But barely takes hours, and you’ll just have to deal for now. We’ve updated our About page so that it’s actually, you know, about us, and posted a link to our new Big Cartel web store to offer physical copies of some the records we have available for free. Maybe the biggest change, both annoying and unnoticeable to the naked eye, is the clean-up of all the old articles from the site’s first incarnation, now archived clearly in a section cleverly dubbed Old Stuff. And we posted a great new record by Teenage Kicks. It’s been a night.


Yeah, we party.»

Did you come out to our stupidly fun NXNE rager last week? If not, you missed out. But it’s cool, we heard there was a line and a few famous people didn’t get in, which obviously tickles us endlessly because we’re awful human beings. Internet sarcasm aside, it was a really amazing opportunity to get a bunch of the bands whose great music we’ve had the opportunity to share on this website in the same room with a bunch of like-minded cool folks and have a really fun night, and we’re grateful to have had that chance. As Tyler from the Decay remarked on stage: “Looks like the internet works.” Sweet.


Hostage Life B-Side + NXNE»

In celebration of tonight’s out of control NXNE rage-a-thon, we’ve posted the last Hostage Life song your ears will probably ever hear, a cover of Tapper Zukie’s “MPLA” originally intended as a 7″ release to accompany the CUTO vinyl. As the story goes, the band broke up just before the record went to press, but here she is, ready for you to download and get down to. Then come out the Bovine tonight! Get there early and stay late - Victim Party, who play at 2am, features Colin and Pat from Hostage Life, along with every one of their best friends. You’ll fucking love it because it’s fucking awesome.


Juicebox/UOBA NXNE Party»

Hey friends, it’s been a while since we all hung out and shared a knowing glance, hasn’t it? So consider this a formal invite to our NXNE-themed debutante ball. On June 16 at the Bovine Sex Club in Toronto, we’ll be showcasing a bunch of bands we’ve released records for over the past year or two + some additional friends courtesy of brother-in-arms Adam Kreeft & UOBA.


Party + Contest = Party»

The extra fine Juicebox/UOBA tour that’s been rolling through Quebec and Ontario finishes up this weekend in Toronto with the extra-rad addition of Horses and Greg McPherson to the west-coast wrecking crew of Party at the Moontower. That sounded like a bad marketing sentence meant to sell shoes to high school girls, but shit, we mean it. To celebrate Saturday’s night of music and responsible adult debauchery, we’re offering up some vinyl and free tickets through our television buds, AUX. Just cruise over to their site for your chance to save some money and get some free records. Life is good sometimes, right? Stay tuned for an extra-special announcement about our extra-special NXNE showcase. Hint: It will be the best.
