“…the sound on (the album) Fade to Black is raw and honest without the sugar coating and multiple clichés so many songwriters seem to fall into. A mixture of bluesy-rock and softer ballads the album provides the listener opportunity to sit back and contemplate clever lyrics and haunting melodies or to groove along to catchy bass-lines supported by Spiers’ rough yet effortless voice.”
	- Lauren Norton (Total Hits)
The band has a debut album titled Fade To Black, which is independently sold from junkesqiure.com, CdBaby and iTunes. It features 11 tracks written, recorded, and mastered in Fremantle, Australia. Junk Esquire also has a live album in the works, due for release in mid-2012.
