Soul-Junk

===Musical Evolution=== Early Soul-Junk albums (such as ''1950'') almost exclusively feature low-fi, [[Indie rock]] style tracks of Glen singing bible verses interlaced with instrumental noise tracks. As Soul-Junk gained members its sound advanced toward rock and pop. ''1953'' and ''1954'' show signs of this continual change. ''1955'' shows a transition in Soul-Junk's sound. The double-disk set consists of pop / Indie rock / [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] influenced sounds. It is also the last disk to make extensive use of biblical quotes – though Soul-Junk's lyrics still clearly reflect their Christian worldview. Later albums are based in experimental, abstract hip-hop. ==Recurring members== *Glen Galaxy *Slo-Ro (2001 – 2005) *Brian Cantrell (1995 – 2000) *[[Micah Ortega|DJ Mizzicah]] (1997 – 2003) *Ron Easterbrooks (1995 – 1998) *Jon Galaxy (1995 – 2001) *Nathan Poage (1998 – 2000) Many others are credited per album or track. ==Discography== ===Album naming convention=== The first Soul-Junk release was called ''1950''.
