Juniper Lane

For the better part of the past seven years, Juniper Lane has been protesting the misconception that bands cannot create a diverse range of well-crafted songs while putting forth an unmistakably signature sound. Straddling the line between indie and mainstream rock, Juniper Lane tames the identity crisis others face head on with their new album Wake From Yourself.

“Being bonded to a genre is a definite boon and will help you gain easier acceptance, but at the same time, at what expense? What kind of artistic compromise did you have to make for that acceptance?” asks drummer/vocalist Eddie Pasa. “I believe we’ve been able to straddle that line between genre-fitting and eclectic without having to sacrifice making music the way we want to, and that’s what I’m most happy about being in this band.”

Juniper Lane has toured extensively on the East Coast, including performances at the 9:30 Club and DC’s 99.1 WHFStival, as well as performing in-studios for commercial radio stations such as DC 101 and 98 Rock in Baltimore and live television performances. Wake From Yourself finds the band working with producer/mixer Ted Comerford (Zox, Army of Me) and mixer Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Lifehouse).

On Wake From Yourself, Juniper Lane is revealed as an even more inspired and motivated version of themselves. On the new album, Vivion Smith, who is responsible for penning all lyrics, delves into the complications of rediscovering one’s direction when faced with life-altering experiences – whether it be falling in love or breaking away from a painful past.

Juniper Lane is Vivion Smith (vocals/keyboards), Chris Bonavia (guitar), Brian Frederick (bass), Eddie Pasa (drums/vocals), and John Athayde (guitar/keyboards).
