Ep. 276: Junction 18 w/ Chris Kelley

Click here for b-sides of interviews Junction 18 toured relentlessly across the U.S. and Canada alongside bands like New Found Glory, Midtown, Hot Rod Circuit, and Simple Plan, carving out a loyal following in the early 2000s scene. After appearing on the Vans Warped Tour, they signed with Fearless Records and released their debut album This Vicious Cycle in 2000, followed by additional releases including Heroes from the Future and a split with Over It. Although plans for a new album in 2005 were ultimately scrapped, their influence lingered, leading to reunions including a brief set in 2015. In 2025, the band resurfaced with the first-ever vinyl release of This Vicious Cycle and reunited for a mini-tour across Boston, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, closing the loop on a legacy that refused to stay buried.
