Healthy Junkies’ first single off their new album Forever on the Road takes their unique brand of punk and brash alternative to a new level of adventurous musical mayhem.
The album was made during the recent pandemic and quarantine as reflections of recent tours and life beyond the road offering a compelling record more akin to chapters of a thrilling novel rather than bubblegum throwaway rock n pop. Lead singer Nina Courson shines throughout with her Parisian drawl inflecting the Junkies’ brand of rock n roll with tones of 60s femme fatales Nico and Brigitte Bardot.
Glide is thrilled to premiere the video for their first single “Last Day in L.A.” which at just over two minutes package the wild offerings of the band’s angular ferocity with a cryptic knack for the melodic. ‘Last Day In L.A.’ harks back to a recent US tour which captures the strange magnetic pull of the city of angels, especially for this group of runaways from Paris and Greater London who came together to write songs and feed their passion for music as a life-saving exercise after narrowly escaping a youth filled by gangsters, abuse and the like.
‘We set off on a crazy journey across the pond in search of sundazed bliss and golden dreams. We made new friends and opportunities presented themselves along the way, saying goodbye was anything but easy,” says guitarist Phil Honey-Jones about the video and their travels to LA.
