It’s clear that since the internet entered into the majority of homes around the world, independent music has begun to gain importance as groups can now reach any corner of the globe by just putting their music online. Many innovative and interesting groups who would otherwise struggle to be heard outside their home town can now become famous thanks to viral videos or audio recordings which catch the interest of masses of people many miles away.
Junior Boys, an independent electronic group from Canada, was one of these bands. The duo, consisting of Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus, met in 1999. Their first demo was rejected by all the record companies they sent it to. All those labels ended up regretting their decision.
The band’s first LP, entitled “Last Exit”, was released in October 2004 through the label, KIN Records. They then did a tour with Caribou, who had already established a great reputation, and this helped raise their profile.
In 2006 they presented “So This Is Goodbye” and then, two years later, “Begone Dull Care”. Both releases had a major impact on the electronic scene and many songs on these albums were included in important compilations.
On 13 June this year they released their latest production, named “It´s All True”, through Domino Records. The duo will be presenting it with performances around the world, including a show on November 16 in Finland.
