Say Hello to JULEUS, a new West Michigan rock group featuring Mike Church from Roadrunner Artist STILL REMAINS, and AJ Barrette from Solid State artist THE SHOWDOWN. Rounded out by Ben Allen (dissonant), Luke Galas (the orphan), and Austin Poel (broken sunday), JULEUS is primed and ready to be the breakout rock sensation of 2009!
Armed with the very best rock, metal, and pop musicians Grand Rapids has to offer, JULEUS has been a tireless workhorse of studio work for the past year. Over the past 10 months the band has written songs with influences ranging from Muse, Alice n Chains, and Thrice. Juleus are trying to prove that the sincerity of five friends destined to be in a band together, can create music free from limitations or boundaries. That is Juleus.
JULEUS are now ready to release themselves to the world, beginning with the launch of their Myspace and facebook pages on May 1st. They are planning on releasing a new demo song for online streaming every other week all summer long, in addition to a series of video webisodes on weeks without song postings.
JULEUS are currently in the live room prepping for their live debut, a pair of local shows in Grand Rapids this June, with plans for more extensive touring to come.

NOTE: For those of you that rec’d a text alert from HM Magazine, we want you to know (especially since so many of you keep asking) that this is a free service we offer. However, if your phone company charges you for text messages, that’s your deal. As they say with stuff like this, “Standard text charges may apply.” (That’s between you and your mobile service. We have unlimited text, recommend that, and love it.).
