Bluejuice were Sydney's loudest, silliest and most danceable indie rock band, a group that treated every chorus like a party it was determined to crash. Their final lineup put two frontmen side by side, co-lead singers Jake Stone and Stav Yiannoukas, with Jamie Cibej on bass and James Hauptmann on drums, and the dual-vocal attack was the whole point: two voices yelping, harmonizing and heckling each other over bouncy, hook-stuffed songs.
Their debut, Problems, arrived in 2007 with the snarling "Vitriol", and Dew Process released their records. Head of the Hawk in 2009 was the one that made them: "Broken Leg" is a rush of brassy swagger, handclaps and hollering, the sort of song built to be shouted back at a festival stage. Company followed in 2011, with "Act Yr Age" proving they were in no hurry to grow up.
Their cheek extended to covers, too, including a take on Boyz II Men's "End of the Road". The band called it quits in 2014, signing off with a greatest hits album and the late single "I'll Go Crazy", three studio albums into a career that never stopped sounding like a good night out.
