Watch: Healthy Junkies return with career defining track ‘Dead Souls’

Posted on by

In the summer of 2024, cult rock band Healthy Junkies shared their ‘Favourite Place’ single which touted them as an energy driven garage rock band. The single’s mix of rock, punk ‘n’ roll and accented vocals served up a track with not only a distinctive sound, but a number which sounded like it would translate brilliantly in the band’s live set.

Their eagerly awaited follow up, ‘Dead Souls’ could not be more different. There are moments where the vocal makes it very clear that this is still the work of the same band, but musically, it’s far richer. More mature, even.

What he has brought over the years in terms of musical energy and enthusiasm is far more important.

Check out ‘Sugarcoat’, the new video from Nectarous

Posted on by

In 2023, US rockers Nectarous released ‘Whiskey Hustlin’ Woman’, a great single that flaunted a massive 70s influence.

In some ways, it set the band in place as a more melodic Black Stone Cherry, and more than suggested there would be more great music ahead.
