It’s crazy to think how quickly certain artists can just jump to the top of your “To do” queue with barely a single or two under their belt but here we are about to be rantin’ and ravin’ (Or “glazing” as the kids say) on all things Sunday Junkie. When we think about it, though, it’s not so surprising when you consider the talent involved who have branched out from last year’s Rock & Roll Rumble stand outs for us (And not just us as they made it to the Semi rounds) Not Bad Not Well and continue to curate these carefully crafted sonic gems that both add to the legacy Tom Martin and Shawn Pelkey began with NBNW while also bringing something new to the table each and every time a new Sunday Junkie jam drops.
The “new” in question today is “Haunted Head” which follows October’s “Vultures” with a defining outing where Sunday Junkie deliver the kind of tunes at this stage of their relative infancy that fans will instantly recognize as theirs. For us, “Haunted Head” has these Prog elements that were pretty prevalent in throwaway Nu-Metal diamonds in the rough like Pulse Ultra and The Apex Theory (And dredg to an extent) but with an Alternative sound infused at its’ core here with Martin’s warm bass lines interwoven with his riffs and Pelkey’s drum lines in a perfect sync that’s still a labyrinth-like aural odyssey with Martin’s yearning vocal delivery serving as the cherry on top.
