Here is a cool review of ‘NO SPACE’ from the
December issue of On Tap Magazine:
In an industry predicated on endlessly copying the trend of the day, new sounds have become harder to find. Look no further than the area that brought you acts like Vertical Horizon, O.A.R., and Jimmy's Chicken Shack, because JunkFood will shake up more than you might think.
Despite some obstacles to overcome (lineup shifting, a touring producer, and one surgery), JunkFood delivers their debut album at the perfect time, bringing together the right sounds, lyrics and energy. In contrast to the endless pseudo-punk and deliberately soul-less music out today, No Space has plenty of qualities that fly in the face of convention.
Songs like "Perfume & Vodka" tell stories too ridiculous to be made up, with clever lyrics and catchy hooks. Songs like "Better" slow things down a bit, but fit the progression of the album, and have the perfect amount of soul and depth.
If any one thing sets JunkFood apart, it's their dedication to a quality product. Not satisfied releasing covers (which they can also play) or putting out too many (or too few) songs just to have a CD out means every song lands on this disc for a reason. This is no trend-jumping bunch, and the folks associated with the album (Todd Wright and Drew Mazurek) knew a good thing when they heard it. Their contributions have culminated in one of the best new releases by a local group in recent memory.
