QUICK BIO

Over the years, the Indian sub continent has been brewing quiet a few underground rock bands, and in the summer of 2005 Chennai gave us Junkyard Groove. Ameeth Thomas, Siddharth Srinivasan and Craig Maxworth got together almost randomly and realized that they had something to contribute to the world of Indian Rock and Roll.

Ameeth started of his music career fronting a few other bands before Junkyard Groove, as was the same with the other guys. Siddharth the youngest of the lot played with bands that found there roots in classic and funk rock covers. Craig entered the music scene with a band, that was pretty much a �'Rage Against The Machine�' tribute band. Maynard Grant came in with a new pair of sticks a couple of years later. With deep roots in Jazz, Maynard was quite a popular drummer in the local Jazz circuit.

Maybe you�'re reading this to find out more about Junkyard Groove. Or maybe you already know what ever you need to know about them, from Myspace and Facebook. Maybe you�'ve seen them live at a few local rock competitions. Maybe you�'ve seen them win every one of them. Maybe you�'ve jumped around to their music at shows like �'Rock In India�', �'Channel V Launch PAD�' and �'Strawberry Fields�'. Maybe you got a little too drunk and passed out before they finished their set. Maybe you heard of them when they opened for the Dubai Desert Rock Festival. Or maybe you just came over to watch Iron Maiden and Incubus. Maybe you�'ve listened to their music online and liked it. Maybe you hated it! Maybe you�'re sick and tired of waiting for their album to come out. Or maybe you felt better when you heard that the new GNR album might beat them to it.

With their fourth birthday around the corner Junkyard Groove is going through a lot of difficult negotiations to get their Album out. The Music is good but the Music Industry is not such a pretty picture after all. But never the less the album would be out eventually, and we would all go back home with smiles on our faces. With the band still concentrating on live shows around the country, they also find the time to go back to the practice pad and work on some new material. Who knows maybe they�'d be in your city next weekend, and maybe you just might pass out before they finish their set. If that happens this has been a brief overview of the madness that is Junkyard Groove
