From Stage to Screen with Junkies Rush by
Junkies Rush has only been around since 2008 but they already have two music videos making the rounds, and just this year released the EP Sins On Your Sleeves. Guitarist Russ Bridger and bassist Wade Christenson had been working on the project for about a year before drummer Wayne Davies joined in and really helped get things going. The Calgary-based metal trio released their second music video “Broken Pieces” on Jan. 31, 2010. Just a day before our February issue went live and we at Pitch Black were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the video before the official release.The audio for “Broken Pieces” was mixed and produced by Brian Joseph Dobbs, who has worked with bands like Death Angel, Voivod, Motley Crüe and Metallica. The video portion was mixed and produced by Michael Olson at Darklight Productions Inc., based out of Edmonton, Alta.Everything was to be shot during the daylight so not much lighting gear was required. For our readers who may be videographers, a “Red Camera” was chosen for this shoot for the HD quality. Other than renting the camera, the band did not have to spend much money to get the final result they wanted. They brought their own gear and P.A. system for the live playing portions of the video, and utilized the farm environment for everything else.

10 Up And Coming by
10 Up And Coming Bands You Should Know About TUESDAY, 15 DECEMBER 2009 23:22 The wide expanse of the international rock/metal world can be daunting – even frustrating writes Komodo Rock's Lindsay Thomas. I mean, the majority of us alternative music enthusiasts have to sift through mountains of tracks that are barely recognizable as music, just to find the few gems hidden amongst the bull shit. So here it is – a comprehensive list of up and coming rock and metal bands. Some you may like, some you may not, but hey, this is just my humble opinion, so take it as you will. 1.Pure City – www.myspace.com/purecitymusic If you can picture Jack Johnson hit by lightening and lit up on cocaine, you can picture Pure City. 2. Junkies Rush – Easily the most innovative groove-metal band on the Canadian metal scene. 3. Freakhouse – www.myspace.com/freakhouse Primal and debaucherous , they’re a great alternative to Disturbed. 4. Broken Ride – www.myspace.com/brokenride A reflective rock n’ roll with a fair dose of intelligence. 5. Soul Side In – www.myspace.com/soulsidein With bright and melodic tracks such as Living on the Land, it’s easy to see why Soul Side In is starting to make a fairly sizable dent in Canada’s alternative music scene. 6. Broken Toyz – http://www.brokentoyz.net Okay, they’re a cover band but they made it onto a list of original bands – they’re THAT good. 7. Static in the stars – www.myspace.com/staticinthestars Melodic and thoroughly rock n’ roll – SITS should have a well deserved place in every iTunes library 8. Voodoo Six - http://www.myspace.comvoodoosix Voodoo Six are proving themselves to be one of the London scene’s biggest and best exports. 9. Zoo Lion – www.myspace.com/zoolion Three words describe this band: Sexy, original and earthy – one of Calgary’s finest. 10. Dirty Penny – www.myspace.com/dirtypennysucks This is for all you glam-heads out there, Dirty Penny is giving Motley Crue a run for their money.
