This is the first JunkieRush CD, which was released in early 2001. The original JR lineup consisted of Bobby Koelble on guitar and vocals, Chris Charles on sax, flute and keys, Aaron O'Riley on bass, and Matt Hughen on drums (now with the Legendary JC'S).
The self-titled CD was nominated for CD of the Year in the Orlando Weekly's Orlando Music Awards and has received airplay on several Central Florida radio stations (as well as in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands). So far it has sold over 2500 copies independently.
"This was an interesting recording for me personally" says Bobby Koelble, former guitarist for the seminal metal band Death. "It was the first time I ever recorded an enitre CD as a lead vocalist and songwriter, so it was a big step for me. It was also right after my mother died, so I wanted to produce something really good in her memory."
The CD was the first installment in what JR fans have now come to expect: a highly identifiable mix of modern rock, funk and world music influences. "I've always wanted to combine different styles of music what I do. I was lucky enough to have found three other guys who felt the same way."
"JR" also featured other fine Orlando area musicians Mike Iapachino (trumpet) Keith Oshiro (trombone) and Steady Joseph (percussion).
Also available: "JunkieRush II" (2003)
Look for the new JunkieRush CD "Live at the Social", (available December 2005) and the third JR studio CD "Manifesto" (coming spring 2006).

junkie for this rush!
author: Jordanive got both their albums and they both are killer recommend it to anyone real good music
Chris Charles is the Jimmi Hendrix of Saxophone
author: Terry BaberFor all you musicians who thirst for quality music - go no further than this album. It is fresh, invigorating, and innovative. In the day when the "yo cats" play it soft and safe I welcome the style of sax-man Chris Charles. He leaves it all out there for you and as I said is the Jimmi Hendrix of Saxophonists.. This is a must have for a good collection
HOLY F"N A this stuff will blind you with scrumtrulesance!!!
author: Andrew MaggioIf you are in the mood to be taken on an adventure of smooth shimmying, rocking, and flat out hypnotizing greatness this is your album!!! I can't enough and if you are in the Orlando area and not at the Social on December 10th than you are a poor unfortunate soul.
wow!*@ I'm addicted.
author: AlexWhat a great CD. It's so easy to listen to over and over. I'm feelin that junkie rush thing!
Worth more than the private jet that it was flown to me on.
author: Patrick CaseyThis cd is a pure rush. A unique flavor that is second only to your first high.
I love it. It's so much more alive than the crap on the radio.
author: ElaineFrom the first time I heard them play, I knew they had the name right. I can get lost in this album's vibrant passionate sound, and I never seem to have enough.
