The dream of the mid-2000s is alive in Los Angeles with Junior Varsity. The trio of Greg Aram, Zach Michel and Brooke Danaher have crafted electronic-tinged garage rock with a side of noughties revivalism since the release of their eponymous debut EP in 2021 (think Stars, The Go! Team or The Whitest Boy Alive). The group released their third EP, My Star, in November, while their single “Cross the Street” spent the autumn driving new highs in Shazam volume.
