Junkrod Joe's Baltimore

The three-piece band rocks Fells Point

By Lindsay Smith
Special to Metromix

Junkrod Joe is a "Brawltimore"-based three-piece rock band that combines rock, blues and country to produce gritty vocals and lashing bass. Their eponymous 2009 release is an appealingly angry, driven collection of songs perfect for whiskey-drinking and brawl-starting. Influences include Creedence Clearwater Revival, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Johnny Cash (naturally).

We spent an evening touring around Junkrod's favorite haunts in Fells Point and got schooled a little on the life of a Baltimore rockstar. With the upcoming release of their new album and a national tour scheduled for this summer, Junkrod are geared up, ready to hit the road, and ready to have a fun time while doing so.
