Bio
Picture this: it’s the dead of night. You can’t sleep. Rain taps the window, and the only light in the room spills in from a streetlamp outside. You’re second guessing everything. This is where Junk Season begins.
Junk Season is the musical project of Milton Keynes artist Harrison Kendall, blending modern emo, pop-punk and alternative rock into emotionally charged songs about anxiety, self-worth and the fear that you’re not okay, even when everything looks fine from the outside.
It’s music for rainy walks, late-night drives and pulling into McDonald’s at midnight to drown your sorrows in a cheeseburger.
“It’s giving like, Parker Cannon, nothing,nowhere vibes…”
— Ashlyn Bruni, Hopeless Records
What began as a lockdown project has since grown into something far bigger. Following support from BBC Introducing, Bowling For Soup’s Jaret Reddick and The Wonder Years’ Casey Cavaliere, Junk Season released debut album Rooms We Crawl In, a deeply personal record exploring isolation, uncertainty and the slow unravelling of youth.
In 2025, the six-track EP LIFE DYSMORPHIA introduced a darker and more expansive chapter. Led by MISERY SYNDROME, which appeared on Spotify’s ALL NEW PUNK, the project explored anxiety, fractured identity and the discomfort of becoming someone you no longer recognise.
Harrison has continued expanding that world through NERVE, UNDERPASS, DOOM&GLOOM and forthcoming single OVERSTAYED, out August 15th. Together, the tracks form the foundations of Junk Season’s next body of work, currently taking shape for release in 2027.
Inspired by late-night drive-thrus, suburban loneliness and the feeling of being trapped in a version of yourself you can’t stay in forever, OVERSTAYED builds from intimate reflection into a huge cathartic chorus.
“There’s a lot of really great instinctual stuff happening...”
— Casey Cavaliere, The Wonder Years
While Harrison writes and records the music, the live show is powered by him and a close group of friends. That same spirit led to JUNKSESH, a yearly headline night created to bring artists and audiences together at the grassroots level.
Across its music, visuals and live shows, Junk Season exists within the FAKELANDS: an inner landscape shared by all of us, where anxieties echo loudest and buried thoughts take on a life of their own. Junk Season chronicles the journey through it.
At its heart, Junk Season is music for anyone caught between who they are and who they’re trying to become.
It’s Junk Season.
