About

Juniper Nights is a four-piece rock band from Oxford, formed at the start of 2017. Contrasting sombre atmospheric soundscapes with aggressive guitar-rock, they promise to deliver an explosive live show.

The band consists of James on vocals and guitar, Zach on guitar and keyboard, Marty on bass, and Tom on drums. James and Zach previously performed together in the indie band ‘Pipeline’, but in 2017 the band changed their name to Juniper Nights. This was inspired by the themes and style of the Black Mirror episode ‘San Junipero’, reflecting their change in lineup and darker sound.

In July 2017, the band recorded a number of tracks at Glasshouse Studios in Oxford. The first track, ‘Antidote’, was released digitally on November 10th and received an extremely positive reception from critics, who described the track as “stunning”, “beautiful”, and praised Juniper Nights for “succeed[ing] in creating something with real resonance.” After reviewing ‘Antidote’, Jammerzine magazine selected Juniper Nights as one of their 17 standout artists of 2017. The band released their debut EP, ‘Human Rush’, on February 2nd 2018. Human Rush was rated highly by critics, with Bucketlist Music Reviews giving it a score of 9.5/10, making it their top album of the week.

Juniper Nights released their latest single ‘Future Spring’ in November 2018 with a launch show at The Wheatsheaf in Oxford. The track received national radio airplay, and was described by BBC Radio 6 presenter Tom Robinson as `A lovely hypnotic groove with killer bass and drums, plus an irresistible vocal’.
