Hamilton, ON-based band Junestone have dropped their highly anticipated new full-length album, FIRST TRY, featuring the lead single “BRIDGE!” The song and album showcase a fearless leap into a world of genre-defying sounds, blending elements of funk, fusion, and rock with themes of self-discovery, empowerment, and embracing life’s transitions. 

BRIDGE!” serves as an energetic anthem for overcoming self-doubt, while the album delivers a dynamic exploration of personal growth and transformation, capturing the essence of moving forward in a turbulent world.

The single, filled with a punchy bassline and dramatic spoken word over a complex musical backdrop, is one of the standout moments on FIRST TRY, a record that captures evolution and Junestone’s deep connection to one another.

BRIDGE!” invites you to leave behind your old self and step into something new. It’s about trusting your instincts and pushing past the doubts that hold you back; saying yes to your own potential. It’s a song for anyone who’s ready to cross that bridge to something better. – bandleader Olivia Brown

Recorded over several years, FIRST TRY blends elements of alternative, jazz-pop, funk, and fusion into a collection of deeply personal tracks. It is an album that balances introspective lyrics with explosive rhythms, aiming to capture the moments of self-realization and bold decisions we all face. Each song on FIRST TRY speaks to the universal struggle of overcoming personal obstacles, while Junestone pushes musical boundaries, layering intricate melodies, tight rhythms, and unexpected shifts in style. With tracks that seamlessly move between genres, FIRST TRY demonstrates the band’s unique ability to create music that is both experimental and deeply connected to their roots.

Junestone’s new material also captures their growth as musicians. The collaborative spirit between bassist Olivia Brown, drummer Justin McHugh, keyboardist Ian Aisling, and guitarist Borys Franiczek shines through in every track, and FIRST TRY serves as a testament to their resilience, creativity, and trust in each other’s abilities.
