The Junior Panthers impressed us as vibrant and psychedelic rock mix that caught ours ears and imaginations. In a tough 
field of greatcontestants they emerged as our pick for a band to watch. With the 40th anniversary of Woodstock coming 
next year bands like this will have an opportunity to show everyone why thier music is so important and how it keeps the 
great music of the 60's, agruably the greatest decade of music for development, alive and well.

With influences such as the Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream and the Rolling Stones, 
the Junior Panthers like to shake it up with their own style of raucous riffs, driving rhythms, and addictive 
melodies. The band has toured the US with Mark Gardener (of RIDE), played festivals including CMJ, Noisepop 
and Mission Creek and has shared the stage with Adam Franklin (of Swervedriver), The Soledad Brothers, 
Moving Units, Persephone's Bees, The Pattern, Mates of State, Comet Gain, the Lovemakers, 
Go Go Go Airheart, Loquat, Oranger, the Love Scene, Creeper Lagoon, Imperial Teen, Whysall Lane, 
Bellavista, The Dilettantes, Pink Clouds, Gram Rabbit and BRMC.

"SIRENS" (2008)
"Sirens is a new limited edition cd from this fine Bay Area foursome! Our first encounter with Junior Panthers was back in 2002... no, not really all that long ago! Their band name was fitting, collegiate and energetic. Their self-titled debut album was a bright sunbeam of buoyant pop. The next we heard from them was their Derelicts cdep in 2006, and it seemed they were still destined for jangly indie pop darling status. Now just two years later, they're a whole 'nother band... still very good, but very different. Think: a lot less bounce, and more beefed up rock. Ultra drenched in reverby guitar effects, Sirens is far more shoegazerly and spacily psychedelic than past recordings seemingly inspired by equal parts My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Jesus & Mary Chain, Swervedriver and Polvo. Cool." -Aquarius Records August 22nd, 2008
