  • 1/2 PRICE OVERSHRUNK - Juniper debut lp from Bandcamp!
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A few of the copies of Juniper's debut lp were over-shrunk when they were packaged at the pressing plant.

    This means the when the shrink-wrap was applied, and when they heated wrap to shrink it, they left it in the heat a bit too long.

    The result is a lp that plays 100% fine and normal, but with an lp sleeve that usually ends up slightly bent (you can see this in the photos).

    You do occasionally see records like this is in shops, presented as normal, but we don't feel we can charge full price for these - so, if you don't mind a slightly bend cover take advantage of this 1/2 price sale.

    There are only a few copies available.

    On black vinyl, on the FABCOM! label.

lyrics

The kids on my corner start a band
With funds they made from a lemonade stand
They spend all day in their garage
Have to ask mom to move the Dodge
Heard their guitar has a broken string
And they're looking for girl who loves to sing
On that corner where the music's coming from
Sure hope that song's better by the night of the prom

The other kids in the neighborhood
Spit and say "that band's no good!"
Their hearts don't open to that makeshift sound
Yet they're always riding their bikes around
The other kids in the cul-de-sac
Wouldn’t like The Beatles if they came back
But when the cops said "Turn it down"
All the kids shouted "Leave our band alone!"

The kids on my corner wrote a song
It's not that good, but it's not that long
Pretty soon they'll write some more
Sometimes they still forget to close the door
Or do their chores, take out the trash
I love to hear to that drummer bash
They changed their name to The Misunderstood
Hey! I think they're finally getting pretty good

The other kids in the neighborhood
Spit and say "that band's no good!"
Their hearts don't open to that makeshift sound
Yet they're always riding their bikes around
The other kids in the cul-de-sac
Wouldn’t like The Beatles if they came back
But when the cops said "Turn it down"
All the kids shouted "Leave our band alone!"

I've watched them from a distance
And now I count myself as a fan
I even wrote them a song, this one,
Now it looks like I'm joining the band

The other kids in the neighborhood
Spit and say "your band's no good!"
Their hearts don't open to that makeshift sound
Why they always riding their bikes around?
The other kids in the cul-de-sac
Wouldn’t like The Beatles if they came back
But when the cops drive by and frown
All the kids shout "Leave our band alone!"

about

Juniper image

Juniper New Jersey

Teenager Juniper Shelley has been singing for as long as she (or anyone) can remember.

With the unique mix of punky/poppy songs, and the basement/kitchen sink production style, reverent to ‘60s & ‘70s pop but with a contemporary nod, her resulting debut album is fun, hook filled and constantly surprising.
