Mic Conway's National Junk Band
Drum Media’s Michael Smith suggests the following when it comes to the brilliant new album from Mic Conway’s National Junk Band:
"Mic Conway has always taken the road less travelled and with his gang of four in the National Junk Band, he has found just the right companions to explore the said road's more eccentric byways."
"... heapin' helpin's of unrepentant fun."
"The world would be a poorer place without either this record or the National Junk Band."
"When they decide to play it a little more serious, on Just Like That, Conway and co easily match any of the current crop of accessible singer/songwriters or even rock acts."
"Put aside your preconceptions and go for a ride down a road you never thought even existed."
(Michael Smith, Drum Media Sydney)
