Junia is a four-piece rock band (rock used loosely with heavy Motown, funk, prog, soul, alt and pop influences) based in Oakville, Ontario Canada. Junia is what happens when four people who don’t take themselves very seriously (trying to get us to write a bio that doesn’t drip with sarcasm is already hard enough) find each other and can’t stop making music together.
Formed in the Fall of 2011, the band features Amy Towers on lead vocals, Curtis Freeman on the bass guitar, Joel Wilson on drums and percussion and David Siekanowicz on guitar. Joel, Curtis and Amy are long time friends who met David while serving on the music team at The Meeting House in Oakville.
Together they have been writing countless songs out of Joel’s basement in Oakville, and even managed to record 3 for a digital EP entitled “The Monday Night Project” released independently in September of 2012. Their strength does not lie in having a cohesive mindset and focused sound they can all agree on, but rather a shared vision of what they dislike about other music. It’s not that they know what they want their music to sound like, but they know exactly what they don’t want it to sound like.
