1997 - 2005

Junior Blanks have ended. However, we have two albums worth of material available for you to download, completely free.  The albums are presented as 224kbps mp3 files, archived in two zip files. I'm using the Coral Content Distribution Network to ease the bandwidth load on these files.  In the last day or so, they seem to have been having some slight problems with their network - resulting in occasional timeouts when people click on the links below.  If this happens, please try again and have patience.  I've heard from a few people who have had problems, but the links seem to work fine on the second or third attempt. Thanks for your patience! 'Junior Blanks' If we'd managed to stay together, this would probably have been our long-awaited (by about 20 people worldwide) debut album for 2006. 1. Slobs Are Gods 2. Doubles 3. Cheated 4. Tramps, Fuzz & Publishers 5. Heaven Help Them All 6. Ticket 7. Raise Your Hands 8. Rocker Tattoo 9. Jockey Slut 10. Medicine Show 11. The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies Click here to download 'Junior Blanks' (75MB zip) Correction : I omitted an important detail from the text file included in the zip.  Nick Powell played keys (the sweet Rhodes parts) on track 5. Sorry Nick! 'Early Tapes' Unsurprisingly, this is a collection of early recordings.  Some of these tracks were originally intended to be Collapsed Lung songs. 01 Trustafarian 02 Ups & Downs 03 You Are Here 04 Taste 05 All About Beats 06 (Keep Feeling) Fascination 07 Way OUt 08 The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies (original version) 09 No-Shock Rockers Click here to download 'Early Tapes' (70MB zip) Correction : The text file enclosed with 'Early Tapes' incorrectly lists Katy Morrison as performing backing vocals on track 6, when in fact she shares the lead vocals with Jim Burke (ably assisted by Dan Laidler, previously the singer with Tiger).  Sorry Katy! All these songs are completely free for your own personal enjoyment. Feel free to share them, but if you want to use them for any commercial purposes (e.g. inclusion on a compilation, on tv, a movie, a videogame, or any other commercial enterprise), then you MUST contact us first.

FREE VINYL! If you didn't get hold of the two Vandelay 7" singles (Tramps Fuzz & Publishers b/w Cheated" and Slobs Are Gods b/w Jockey Slut), then we're pleased to offer you a FREE copy of each.  Simply email us, including your postal address in the email, and stating that you want the free Junior Blanks vinyl.  We'll probably send the records out in batches, so you might have to wait a while - but it'll get there in the end. MYSPACE There's a posthumous myspace page for JBs now, including a previously unreleased and unheard track - "Raise Your Hands" - to listen to.  Add us! http://www.myspace.com/juniorblanks
