JUGGERNAUT DRUNK – POSEIDON MINING CO.
I met Dave waaaaaay back in college, probably my third sophomore or first junior year. His twin brother was one of the few people on campus who had tattoos, so he was easy to pick out. He also ended up taking every significant promo and live photo of my band. Anyway, my roommate became fast friends with the twins, so I got to reap the benefits of their friendship: some of the best house parties I’ve ever been to, but more importantly, getting to regularly hang out with two really great people. They were also into punk music, which is always a bonus. One of Dave’s bands started around the same time mine did. I always hoped to share the stage with them, usually because they got better gigs than us, playing in front of easy-to-please drunken college students at whatever the new premier spot was in the bar scene, while we struggled to find a DIY venue or middle school to house us while the crust punk and screamo kids blankly tolerated us with complete indifference… if we were lucky. Dave eventually moved back to his hometown area after college, but kept playing music. I’m not quite sure how Juggernaut Drunk formed, but when I saw they would be releasing their third album on vinyl I told Dave to keep me in the loop. Their music reminds me of something you might hear on the Clerks soundtrack, which is fitting since they're from the same state, just the opposite end. I’m not including Dave’s note because I agree with him, but because it was so fuckin’ cool of him to send it with the record. So I’m stoked to have another record by a friend who stuck with it and I hope there are more to come.
