TPOE 353: Junk Drawer

Eoghan is joined by Stevie and Jake Lennox of Belfast’s Junk Drawer, who released their second album Days of Heaven on June 6 via Pizza Pizza Records. Formed in 2015 alongside Brian Coney and Rory Dee, Junk Drawer blend Weezer-esque riffs, shoegaze and indie rock. Fresh off an eight-date tour of Ireland with Cola and M(h)aol, the brothers reflect on the DIY logistics of putting it all together, the origins of the band and the evolution of their sound, working with producer Chris Ryan, what it means to make "weird, cosmic Ulster music", playing SXSW, the Belfast music scene and lots more.
