So this will hopefully be a regularly updated addition to the already growing ReadJunk News section. At the end of each month, I’ll compile the bands of the day and archive them in case you ever want to go back.

So without further ado, Dan’s Band of the Day #1:

Jon-Rae and the River, a Toronto-based alternative-country/gospel/rock band with a frenetic and unique sound. Their singer Jon-Rae Fletcher reminds me a little bit of Will Sheff of Okkervil River, but he has an interesting timbre in his voice that sounds like it is so close to being off-key.

Check out their original songs Best of My Time and Just One More, as well as their bizarro cover of the Cars’ Just What I Needed, which goes from sounding like a joke into a tight twangy version only to end with feedback and noise.
