Janus 4-14 are a trio from Mount Airy, North Carolina and happen to be one of our finest discoveries of last year. We reviewed both 6 Track EPs which were available at Name Your Price. Ghosts From Your Past here and Blue To Infinity here.
You can read the Reviews, but the embeds are no longer available, because the two have been collected as a Vinyl album, All The Kids Are Doing It. You can still listen to and download the 12 songs, but Vinyl is the key. They are a band made for that format.
Both EPs were exceptional and so the album is. These three have a way of mastering whatever they turn their hand to which ranges from Americana to Brit Pop, College Rock to 89s Indie Rock. Guitar Pop to Blue Collar. Gentle to Heavy, Pop To Rock.
In my three embeds here, I've gone for the more Guitar Pop songs, simply because that is what we are known for and what many followers expect. However, the whole album will take you all over the place with a defined excellence.
Of my three choices, I Never Wanna See You Again has been a long time favourite, played at a rapid pace. Modern Girl is splendid Guitar Pop with a little feel of Van Morrison. Blue To Infinity is slightly noisier 80s Indie Rock, a little UK C86 and possibly my fave.
You can listen to and buy the album here. As previously mentioned, it is available on Vinyl and as a download.
