Brisbane's new indie-pop wunderkinds, JUNO zing in to your ears with new single, 'Zero'

Brisbane’s latest indie-pop wunderkinds, JUNO are putting the bounce into your Thursday with their latest sparkling dance-pop single, ‘Zero’.

Fresh-faced but certainly no strangers to the stage, JUNO is the irresistible musical match-up of Kahlia Ferguson and Sam Woods, who first met as members of indie-rock band Sunflower and decided to meld their complementary talents to create scintillating hook-filled soundscapes in the pop-a-sphere.

Inspired by a shared love of high-energy performers and the undeniable call of the dancefloor, JUNO has officially arrived in a shiny, pep-filled cloud, making their presence known with debut single ‘Zero’.

Undeniably catchy, full of sass and groove, ‘Zero’ is hooky as f***, and completely playful. 80s-style horn sections brighten up the chorus, while Kahlia toys around with playground melodies. It’s a fun, unapologetic single (that is also just begging for a full dance floor remix).

Using writing and producing as therapeutic escapism, JUNO was able to create an exuberant, empowering bop in ‘Zero’ that was born out of frustration and fury at people spreading rumours, as Kahlia explains: “Songwriting has always felt like a bit of a therapy session for me. I love turning something that feels awful into something that sounds healing. After months of dealing with rumours and hearsay, Sam and I blurted out this song in the studio one morning, piecing together lyrics that made all of us laugh a lot. ‘Zero’ is a great blend of fun, sassy and empowering, embodying the kind of attitude we want to embrace moving forward.”

Raring to step into the spotlight, JUNO is set to quickly make their mark on the Australian music scene, backed by a musical history spanning to Kahlia’s time performing in family band The Fergies, which performed with the likes of Powderfinger, The Cat Empire, The Jungle Giants, Missy Higgins and more.

From zero to one hundred, JUNO’s debut single ‘Zero’ is out now.
