Juniper Nights

Juniper Nights is a four-piece alternative rock band from Oxford, formed at the start of 2017. The band consists of James Gallagher (Vocals/Guitar), Zach Wilmott (Guitar), Marty Melvin (Bass), and Tom Lindsay (Drums). Whilst their music is primarily guitar-based, influenced by a number of British rock bands such as Radiohead, Elbow, and Alt-J, they often experiment with other sounds, inspired by the works of trip hop and electronic artists such as Aphex Twin, Portishead, Massive Attack, and Boards of Canada. This includes the use of keyboards, drum machines, and strings, as well as the manipulation of sound with effects. With their experimental grungy guitar-rock sound, Juniper Nights promises to deliver an explosive live show.

In July 2017, the band recorded a number of tracks at Glasshouse Studios in Oxford. The first track, 'Antidote’, was released digitally on November 10th and received an extremely positive reception from critics, who described the track as "stunning", "beautiful", and praised Juniper Nights for "succeed[ing] in creating something with real resonance." After reviewing 'Antidote', Jammerzine magazine selected Juniper Nights as one of their 17 standout artists of 2017. The band released their debut EP, 'Human Rush', on February 2nd 2018. Human Rush was rated highly by critics, with Bucketlist Music Reviews giving it a score of 9.5/10, making it their top album of the week.
