Here we go again, another trio of otherwise unheard but thematically linked songs from the sonic smorgasbord that is Bandcamp. Randcamp, in other words. What would "Junebug" throw up, I wondered? Here are three of the better search results.
The splendidly-named Couples Therapy are a four-piece from Brighton, making what they describe as "melodic punk". I'm not sure I agree with that description, even if I'm also not sure what would be better. Regardless, there are moments in their Junebug that don't make me want to punch myself in the ears, even if it does overstay its welcome.
Paul Sticca is from Massachusetts. His Junebug is a hazy acoustic drone, with a decidedly alt-country vocal delivery and a little bit of plaintive harmonica. Does not overstay its welcome.
Kitner are also from Massachusetts, specifically Boston. There are moments in their take on Junebug that put me slightly me in mind of the Goo-Goo Dolls, at least in some of the power-pop guitar chords. Overstaying a welcome? What welcome?
Which junebug are you pleased to hear buzzing around? And which has you reaching for the fly-swatter?
