No Turn Jonx Red Review at spacecityrock.com

Space City Rock’s Jeremy Hart has written a nice review of No Turn Jonx Red.

An excerpt:

And the sound? Take that surging/swinging sound I loved back in the day when I first heard NoMeansNo, Fugazi, or, heck, Jawbox, add the screamed/yelled vocals and the combative, threatening guitars, throw in a decent helping of noiserock atmospherics and off-kilter rhythms, tack on some too-damn-smart, cynical lyrics, and you can call The Jonx one of the best bands currently working in Houston’s oft-beleaguered music scene. (Any indie labels out there listening? Put out these guys’ records. Seriously.) It’s bleak, engaging, a bit frenzied at times (”Iron Steed”), a little ambient (see “Prelude,” “Interlude,” the first part of “Escape (This Is Not A Song),” or the awesomely sludgy, Earth-esque “The Scent of Earth”), and heck, there’s even a melody peeking out here and there (”Parachute,” “Escape (This Is Not A Song)”).
