Juniper is a band I found out about recently by looking at the old year-end polls from TweeNet. It's fun enough to find a band that was one of the "most promising" and immediately broke up, but it's even better that that's a noise pop band that never released an album! I especially love their last single, the b-side, "Summer on My Mind", is one of those ones where the noise is really impressive! Apparently, soon after that, the band undertook a tour that ended with them relocating to California, and then changing their name to the Mondo Crescendo (who I have not yet had a chance to check out, as of the time of writing).
