“Wry songs of anxiety and frustration” – The Guardian
“One of the island’s all-time songwriting greats" - Brian Coney, The Thin Air
"Junior Brother’s voice is an unlovely but strangely compelling thing and his
wayward guitar style is brittle and guttural... You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll think." - Alan Corr, RTE.ie
Carefully pushing the boundaries of what modern Irish folk can look and sound like, Junior Brother is an idiosyncratic, challenging, and richly lyrical singer/songwriter from Co. Kerry. His much-anticipated third album, The End, is officially announced and due to arrive on September 5th via Strap Originals, a label forged with love by Pete Doherty of The Libertines.
In a statement from the label, Strap say: “We’re beyond excited to have this extraordinary Irish artist join our label. One of the most unique and powerful voices out there.”
Junior Brother shared his excitement about the signing, “I'm delighted to be bringing my record "The End" out on such a great label - I look forward to sharing the same roster as such favourites as Peter Doherty, Real Farmer, Warmduscher and loads more. Excitin' times ahead!”
Following the success of his 2024 single Take Guilt, Junior Brother offers another taste of his upcoming LP with Small Violence, a powerful track that addresses the growing influence of misinformation and the escalating wave of conspiracy-fueled hatred.
Speaking about the new track, Junior Brother says: “Small Violence follows a character pulled in by a small few who enjoy using violent words to stoke real violence further down the line. The intro riff was heavily inspired by the Opening Titles of “The Blood on Satan's Claw”, a Folk Horror from 1971 which I highly recommend to anyone except the sensible.”
