Junior Varsity Biography
With their combination of 50's teen pop and cheerleader stage presence, Junior Varsity could easily provide the soundtrack of any high school pep rally. Originally consisting of Matt Murillo (drums/ vocals), Kim Hammond (bass/ vocals), DJ Butchie Cordell and Sean McManus (guitar/ vocals), this Houston trio contain the self-described sound of "frat-hop" as they also share a love for beach movies and three-chord punk. A number of compilation contributions and singles eventually followed between 1996 to 1998 before Junior Varsity's first full-length Bam Bam Bam came out in 1998. This release featured the debut of new member Rebecca Whitley, who joined after the departure of McManus. ~Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
