Julien-K






This is a band that has a history.  Not necessarily a good one, this band is made up in part of former members of the band Orgy.  Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck started writing songs that the Orgy lead singer, Jay Gordon, had no interest in working with, so they found themselves launching Julien-K sans Jay in 2003.

Songs from their first EP were featured on the Transformers soundtrack in 2007.  The band now has a laundry list of songs, albums, and tour dates.  With a sound very similar to Orgy, fans of Blue Monday should really enjoy this stuff!

The electronic sound on these songs such as "Kick the Bass" and "Technical Difficulties" is unbelievable!  I have really enjoyed doing research for this band.  I was always a fan of Orgy, and although pretty different, it's nice to know that I can hear tracks from some amazing song writers. 

There is so much out there on these guys, that I find myself really at a loss for words.  This is one of those reviews where you should just check them out for yourselves.  I really don't think you will be disappointed, we're talking about some very talented, very well known artists here.  If you listened to Orgy, if you rocked out to "Blue Monday", give these guys a chance.  Their indie stuff is phenomenal!!  Follow the links!!
