Junker are a heavy rock band from the United Kingdom, formed by Gavin “Gash” Ashley out of the ashes of Emotional Baggage and Def Penalty. Junker are known for their brutal live performances, colliding heavy rock, hardcore punk, indie and funk into a melodically thunderous bass driven assault with dark psychological themes.

They have pushed onwards and upwards since 2008, grabbing the attention of promoters and other bands alike. Growing as performers, blowing away new audiences and demolishing venues with their massive sound.

Junker has a very strong rock pedigree. Gash was the bassist and songwriter in Emotional Baggage who won the battle of the bands in 1997. He then toured the USA in 2001 as stand in singer for the legendary punk band, Skeptix. Dylan is the son of Mott the Hoople’s original guitarist and grew up in and around Rockfield studio in Monmouth.

Their first self-financed mini album, was recorded and produced by Punk legend Steve "Fish" Brookes from the Skeptix in his Cheshire studio.

Junker will be returning to the studio late 2011 to lay down brand new tracks that have been gig honed over the last year. Which studio...which producer...we're not saying...yet.
