    Press Reviews
    PASTIME / JUNKCULTURE Topless America 21 - 07 - 00 ...even ippo hadn't been having the most summery July but still, mister sunshine had put his hat on and come out to play when PASTIME hit town, who are of course those loveable fellas formerly know as the headchecks. First up, tho, were locals JUNK CULTURE. Hadn't seen them before and they were sort of a bit NIRVANA, a bit indie grunge or something, you know. Best and most standout thing about them was Graham's fab gtr sound, totally cranked and ballsy, kinda like a noise Steve Jones was hammerin' out back in '76. - Tard BEERZONE / JUNK CULTURE Ippo Steamboat - 04 - 08 - 00 ....dismally failed in out capacity as gig reviewers tonight, spending most of the show in the garden soaking up the summer eve and talking to gurls instead of being stagefront and paying attention to what was going on. Sorry. We did hear a lot of what was going on tho, and JUNK CULTURE sounded a little more punk rock than last time, ocasionally reminding us of STUNTCHILD, plus they did a decent cover of 'moon over marin' and generally seemed to be doing pretty well. The vocals could do with being a touch more confident maybe on the whole we quite like them. As for BEERZONE, we're not huge fans of theirs or anything so we kind of lost interest, we do recall hearing 'Gazza Gazza' but by this time those young ladies mentioned earlier were buying us beers so we wound up a bit sozzled and everything got sorta blurry. Remember getting home and making loads of cheese on toast, thats about it. Oh well, straight edgers we ain't. ....Tard RED FLAG 77 / JUNK CULTURE / KINSKI Ippo Steamboat 29 - 09 - 00 .....Still kind of jet-lagged after Beantown, but it was nice to back to our old haunts for the first time in what seemed like ages. Place was pretty full so we went and sat outside, amazed at how still and warm the evening was for late sept, and from there we had out first earfull of KINSKI. Keyboards, a guy singing who sounded like a gurl, some half decent originals but some rather poor attempts at covers (especially the BUZZCOCKS' 'ever fallen in love....' and RADIOHEADS 'creep'), that pretty much covers 'em. JUNK CULTURE seem to have played a lot recently and consequently we're starting to recognise a few of their tunes, and we're starting to like em too. They kind of switch between pounding LURKERS style punk rock and some more NIRVANA style numbers, they do KENNEDYS covers and blasted out a fun version of 'Bodies' and even tho he had a little trouble w/ his amp (hey ain't we all!) thier bass player was twisting and pulling at his gtr to get some interesting feedbacky noises out of it. We were impressed. Unforchanetly we missed the FLAG, they go caught up in raffle and ran too close to the last bus time but still, it was nice to be back in Ippo and drink something different to Harpoon beer. - Tard Junk culture area four peice band based in Ipswich. They've just released this smashing three track ep. They're sort of Indie-skate-punk. It's cool to see a bit a bit of fresh blood in the town, the mateys have monopolised the Ipswich scene for too long & Junk Culture are younger, better looking and far more exciting than any of those whorey old rockers. All Too Human I don’t really know what to make of this one! It’s catchy tunes and lyrics make it very 1977 style. But to me they are like a college student type of band and they may not even be punk. Kev (Punk and Oi in the UK) JUNK CULTURE "pumped up ...again" CDS - 3 tracks, in my opinion the first is the best "again" is a sort of whiny twisted 60s pop ditty taht is a great song - the other two arent bad, but not quite as good, a decent effort, looking forward to hearing some more! Smoking troll As it turns out Junk Culture played first, they stood up the on the stage before starting looking like yer best mate, and then launched into what can only be described as a wall of sound that could be felt to your stomach, but made your foot tap! They fired through about 8 songs, through which their singer spent more time on the dance floor freaking out the natives than he did on the stage. For the first time ever at a gig here at the Portland Arms I saw a singer that was getting members of the congregation to introduce themselves over the mike to the rest of the crowd! After about half an hour they were gone, leaving me a bit confused but most definately entertained! - a review of a Junk Culture gig from the adhoc Cambidge website
