La Junta began early 2004 in a small back room of an old little house in a student ghetto, built on a foundation of house parties with a sound combining various musical styles. Influenced by so many genres, including jazz, blues, rock, reggae, Latin and hip-hop music, every song is significantly different from the next. Attempting to blend each sound, La Junta believes they have found something very refreshing in an industry of cardboard cutouts. With their unique style as a backdrop, La Junta reflects what they observe in everyday life as well as represent who they and where they come from in a positive way. This is the beginning of “SouthwestFunkRock”.
Any of La Juntas 4 albums are amazing fingerprints for the group. However, nothing compares to the energy, fun, and musicianship of a live La Junta show. Fans often compare La Junta to groups such as Spearhead, Ozomatli, 311, O.A.R., Dave Mathews, and Sublime. Because of this La Juntas fan base continues to grow exponentially, based on a consistent incline of CD sales and attendance at live performances. It is true that every group in the music industry believes they are "fresh" and "Unique"… and we are no different. Where we do differ is the response from fans is that we are "fresh" and "unique". Something new, and we didn't even have to tell them.
