about
The Junction is an indie rock band formed in 2000 from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The band's current lineup is: Brent Jackson (Vocals/Guitar), Michael "Tip" Taylor (Drums), and Matthew Jameson (Bass). The Junction formed in Brampton in 2000. Jackson and Taylor were classmates for years when they finally discovered that both of them played instruments during the ninth grade. Jameson later saw the band play at a Battle of the Bands after Jackson had transferred to Mayfield Secondary School. Amidst having several members come and go, the band released three EPs before signing with Universal Music. The first two EPs, White and Orange (2000) and Three Singles (2002) were recorded by Greg Dawson. The third, And with This Comes Tomorrow (2004), was recorded by Brian Moncarz. After attracting attention from industry, The Junction signed a three-record deal with Universal Records, subsequently recording their first full-length album during 2005 and 2006. The band has openly admitted that they took far too long to record and release their first record. The Junction was released in February 2007 with little support from the label, which purportedly saw the record as “challenging”. Over the summer of 2007 the band was dropped by their booking agents, at which point they left their management company. It was at this time they were able to get out of their deal with Universal and continue independently with Matthew Jameson taking on the role of manager. The band continued to tour Canada
