Do you remember when rock and roll was fun? JunkFood certainly does, serving up big, unapologetic rock tunes with loud guitars and sing-along hooks so huge you could hang a side of beef on them.
JunkFood is a NOVA based rock band. Their 3rd full length album "Mighty" was released in December 2008. "Mighty" was produced by Bart Harris and was mixed by Grammy award winning producer Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Lifehouse, Dave Matthews Band).
JunkFood regularly performs for a broad range of fans in a wide range of venues up and down the East coast. From family friendly festival crowds, to summer beach vacationers, to rowdy college bars - JunkFood has entertained them all. Although primarily known for original music, JunkFood is not afraid to play your favorite covers from the 80's to today. As their many fans will attest, JunkFood subscribes to the old school tradition that no matter how much you enjoy the CD, you've really got to experience the band live to fully appreciate their talent.
JunkFood's live show is a high-energy party, making them one of the most sought after bands in the DC/Metro Area. The buzz they have generated has them headlining the major venues in the region.
Since being voted "BEST COVER BAND IN THE DC AREA" by On Tap Magazine in March 2003 and "BEST LOCAL BAND" by the Washington Post Reader's Poll in 2005, JunkFood has performed in front of thousands of fans at high profile events such as the annual Celebrate Fairfax Festival and HiBall Events Mid-Atlantic Shamrock Festival and Blocktoberfest.
Some quotes from the industry:
"JunkFood is a band with no illusions about itself. The music the Fairfax foursome makes has little nutritional value, but it sure is delicious. That makes JunkFood just about the perfect bar band. There is no artistic pretension or forced emo moping, just good-time, high-energy, well-played rock-and-roll." - C. Woodrow Irvin, The Washington Post
"JunkFood may be the Washington DC areas biggest party band. The former cover band makes regular appearances at the biggest events around town. And it isnt surprising; vocalist Bart Harris nails his melodies, with a bit of a growl similar to some of the late 90s radio gods. It isnt challenging or complex, and it isnt meant to be. JunkFood knows the role that they want to play: this is music intended as a soundtrack to your night out, for throwing back beers at a bar with friends or soaking in the sun on a beach." - Chris Connolly, OnTap Magazine
"I really am impressed by your guys professionalism.plus you're a great band and have a great live set." - Joe Bevilacqua, Clear Channel Radio, Denver, CO
"With its mixture of hard hitting rockers and more melodic rock ballads, JunkFood's release (No Space) seems destined to find a very large following." - GildTheLily, South Of Mainstream.com
"If you're in the DC Metro area, seize the opportunity to see this band live before they get too big." - Manish Patel, The Music Writer
[NO SPACE is]. one of the best releases by a local band in recent memory. - Matt Atkinson, On Tap
