  • About:
    The Styrofoam Junkies are a fusion of two great empires from the days of Charlesmagne's conquests (West Hempstead, NY & Madison, NJ). This resulting fusion has come together to produce sonic vibrations that have been compared to everything from a "tantric ride through the Kama Sutra on acid" to "O-Town". Deciding it was time to release what they have created, and what has been widely described as "music", in May 2007, the Styrofoam Junkies went into Northshore Recording Studio with Producer Ryan Sellick (Armor for Sleep, Bedlight For Blue Eyes, Jet Lag Gemini) to record their debut album "Guided by Speciner". The album mastering was left to Mike Fossenkemper (Madonna, Miles Davis, The Get Up Kids), and will be available August 12th. The boys have used such progressive methods as "chords" and "vocals" on this album and are very excited to see what you guys think. So light some candles, set the mood, and listen to some Styrofoam Junkies. We hope you enjoy!!

  • Sounds Like: Press Clippings:"Their newly released untitled EP brings forth a strange, surreal set of five new songs that draw from a variety of influences, to create a surprisingly fluid sound." - Kris Walsh, www.cluballey.com"The opening track, “Come Alive,” succeeds in displaying a full repertoire of skills in a single fluid piece, combining elements of hard rock, hip hop, funk, dance rock and something else I just can’t pinpoint. There’s a great deal of dynamic in this song, showing that Styrofoam Junkies understand how to create a mood – which is vital when providing a crowd with something they’re unused to." - Kris Walsh, www.cluballey.com"Great sound, hooky, with innovative arrangements and interplay between vox & instruments." - Editor's pick, www.indie-music.com
