Mr. Adragna finds a newish path through the well-trod fields of pop/ rock. He claims influence from REM and The Monkees, and I believe it. - Ink 19 The Junior League aka Joe Adragna once again has delivered some pop goodness to follow up his debut “Catchy”. The new album has plenty of sharp pop craft along the lines of REM jangle and The Beatles, with a touch of Toad The Wet Sprocket. Joe is more than a one man band here....The songs are cleanly produced and well written – --Powerpopaholic“…for power-pop fiends—and hopeless romantics who deal with rejection by rocking out—it will serve well. Adragna’s pop-rock classicism, which makes the album everything the title promises (especially on “This Is What We Are”) skitters eloquently between jangle, garage revivalism and folky alt-pop.” - offBeat ... a beautifully woven collection of luminous, melodic '60s-style pop songcraft in the vein of the Revolver-era Beatles or Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd with plenty of tambourines and handclaps. - Gambit Weekly When you title an album"Catchy", you're either being ironic or confident. In the case of the Junior League (actually singer/songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist Joe Adragna), it's clearly the latter. Adragna has crafted a fine disc of breakup and post-breakup songs in a power pop setting that calls to mind many of the touchstones of the genre. - Absolute Power Pop The Junior League play tight, well-crafted, sunny pop in the vein of the Beatles and the Monkees as well as their slightly more bitter, tongue-in-cheek inheritors like '90s Britpop invaders Oasis and Blur. There's also quite a bit of influence audible from angelic alt-country brooders like Rhett Miller of the Old 97's. You'll hear plenty of sharp turns of phrase cradling sentiments that are at the same time bitter, wistful and romantic. But for the most part, it's just darn foot-tapping catchy. - Gambit Weekly"Catchy" could not be a more appropriate name. 12 String Jangle Alert, too! The Junior League are for Major League power pop Fans of Sloan, The Gripweeds, classic Lemonheads power pop, Big Star and bands that have been influenced by Buffalo Springfield but are making modern-day pop, The Junior League are IT. www.notlame.com
