Biography (From Origivation Magazine) "When first you hear Alright, Junior, you may be intangibly tossed into a back in da day vortex, liberating early 90s grunge rock n’ roll, lathered in crippling Smashing Pumpkins riffs and caliginous Alice in Chains vocals. They have endurance, there’s no doubt in that, extolling their engendered appreciation for the last “good” era of rock music with all the spasmodic moves of an undomesticated bronco." (Origivation Spring 2007) When you talk to the members of Alright Junior, you realize that with music, sometimes timing is everything. “You get the feeling with this band”, says front man Jace Miller, “that something special is happening” Formed by members of 3 former Philadelphia Alternative Rock acts , Alright Junior began in the spring of 2006, when drummer Mike Fraclose and guitarist Steve DeMeo (formerly of The Rebel Saints)  began writing and rehearsing with Miller (formerly of Juliet). With the later addition of bassist Greg Javonovich (formerly of Pennant Race), and with new material already in tow, Alright Junior burst onto the Philly scene, playing shows in familiar venues to surprisingly large crowds. Says DeMeo, “for a band that at the time was only 2 months old, we couldn’t believe the response from the first few shows.” “We realized that our old fan bases from the other bands were coming out as one in support of the new project.”, says Miller.  For promoters, writers, radio personalities and fans alike in the Philadelphia area, it became obvious from the start that Alright Junior wasn’t truly a “new” act, but rather local music vets who were hell bent on stirring up the local music scene. Early after their inception, Alright Junior caught the attention of producer Joe Mattis of label Slugfest records, when Mattis saw the band open for national headliner Sponge. Mattis was impressed by the raw talent, stage presence and young energy of the new band. Work began on an LP engineered by Kevin Williams at Slugfest’s recording studio in Spring City, PA. Released in February 2007 release, Alright Junior’s debut LP  (availible on iTunes) featured 10 songs showcasing the band’s unique alternative rock sound. Tracks such as Mouths of a Herd and Sinner of the State quickly received airplay on Philadelphia’s 93.3 WMMR and Delaware’s 93.7 WSTW. Alright Junior was also featured on Philadelphia’s radio104.5FM live at five studio session, heard live at afternoon drive time. Rumors of a “ship of fools” captained by legendary Tim Gilles (Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Misfits) led the band in February 2009 to Big Blue Meenie studios in Jersey City, NJ. Alright Junior crafted a 5 song EP built to lead them onward. Set for a summer 2009 release, “Our Temporary Everything” represents a band comfortable in its own skin, looking forward rather then repeating patterns and molds of rock’s recent mundane history.
