Junction 18

Junction 18 began in Boston in 1996. Originally rehearsing and performing throughout the Northeast and New England area, the band grew a small but loyal following with an energetic live show and impressive musicianship. With influences such as <a href="spotify:artist:40Yq4vzPs9VNUrIBG5Jr2i">the Smashing Pumpkins</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6GbCJZrI318Ybm8mY36Of5">Faith No More</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2yJwXpWAQOOl5XFzbCxLs9">Bad Religion</a>, Junction 18 performed on the Vans Warped Tour, where they shared the stage with <a href="spotify:artist:4ghjRm4M2vChDfTUycx0Ce">New Found Glory</a>. Representatives from Fearless Records were searching for new talent at the time when Chad Gilbert from <a href="spotify:artist:4ghjRm4M2vChDfTUycx0Ce">New Found Glory</a> mentioned Junction 18. The band sent a demo in and were signed within the week. In the fall of 2000, Junction 18 -- vocalist Andy Bristol, bassist Ryan Spencer, drummer Chris Kelley, and guitarists Ryan McHugh and Scott Morganella -- released This Vicious Cycle on Fearless and spent time touring with bands like <a href="spotify:artist:3aKzt9FJXUwqntOj7ZAGT5">Dynamite Boy</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1LlGKxSlbEdEal2ndFNrrn">the Stryder</a>. They followed up two years later with the EP Heroes from the Future. The guys then appeared on The Acoustic Split alongside <a href="spotify:artist:7zn1qF9KcBCxwj2Rpn4fAp">Over It</a> in 2003, issued through Top Notch Records. ~ Jason MacNeil, Rovi
