Friday Junior and the full throttle punk bliss and fury of "Drab from Colorless"

 

"I'm feeling breathless from the 400 blows / shots to the back and the ribs before they let go / when I fuck up the whole town knows..."


The absolute fervent, nearly out of breath, punk nature of "Drab from Colorless" from Baltimore's Friday Junior, centered around singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Connor Graham, is, for me, a wonderful surprise. It is not everyday that something as raw and emotionally so hard as to feel brittle hits my ears. I am a 70's kid who steeped himself deeply in the 80's So Cal music scene and Connor exhibits the same kind of punk / power pop drama and drive of artists like Archers of Loaf, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists and early, hungry Elvis Costello and the Attractions. 

I am especially feeling amped up, fully fueled by the tightly knit music, the feverish drumming and overall punk synergy of every element all at once. And I am digging Connor's vocal countenance too in a big way. It is not everyday that you come across an artist who seems steeped in the late 70's / early 80's proto punk / new wave dynamism and DyaliScopic allure of François Truffaut all at once.

"Drab from Colorless" is from Friday Junior's full length 'Fear Said, "Admit It​!​"' dropping September 30, 2022 featuring Connor Graham on guitars, bass, lead and backing vocals and Michael Lowry on drums.
