Justin Mikulka

Justin Mikulka prospects a double existence — similarly, he’s the singer and guitarist with the energy pop music group Cathode Bob, and on the additional he’s a singer/songwriter whose hooky and melodic folk-pop music have earned him an evergrowing following. Located in Franklin Recreation area, NJ, Mikulka created Cathode Bob in 1996, as well as the music group released a cassette-only EP, Amused, a 12 months later on. Nevertheless, before Cathode Bob’s 1st release could strike the roads, Mikulka had currently kicked off a single career, liberating his first single recording, Beggars and Choosers, beneath the name Leghound in 1996. Cathode Bob became Mikulka’s concern for another 2 yrs, however the same 12 months the music group released their first full-length recording, Envy the Numb, Mikulka decreased his second single recording (and first under his personal name), a low-key and low-fi arranged called Customer. While Envy the Numb was called one of the better regional albums of the entire year by Jersey Defeat, Mikulka’s single work was earning rave testimonials of its, and he released another single established, Sequels and Opposites, in 1999. Cathode Bob regrouped in 2000 because of their third record, Threadbare, but accurate to create a couple of months afterwards, Mikulka was focusing on another single task. Move Toward the Leave arrived in nov 2001, and discovered him tinkering with even more adventurous song buildings and complex creation (the latter thanks to Greg Frey, who’d previously caused Ween and Ida). The brand new album was referred to as “a complete sample-laden brain f**k” by Shirt Beat, and gained Mikulka a display spot on the 2001 North by Northwest Music Celebration in Toronto, Canada.
