A lockdown lament ...Mental healthy issues have gone through the roof during confinement. And the East West metaphor used in the lyrics is all the more poignant with the current Ukraine/Russia state of emergency.

Deviant Lifestyle

Siberia

A tribute to the rock stars that have passed on and message of hope to anyone that has suffered loss. A positive outlook on the idea of metaphysical afterlife.

Great big gig in the sky

Great Big Gig In The Sky - Healthy Junkies - Lion In The Circus EP - Bananacastlerecords - 2023

Written in lockdown about feeling like a caged animal. This unnatural phenomenon that was forced upon is now seeing consequences of a devasting kind. Kids, teenagers and young adults especially were the most effected in the long term. Watch this space for more chaos.

Listen to the mad

Lion In A Circus

Your favourite place is likely to be somewhere you go physically and/or mentally to hide from the traumas of reality (‘The city of clowns’ ref Boris Johnson) . That said the lyric also says ‘What you see is what you face ‘. So we hide and yet we confront at the same time.

Favourite place

.Favourite place

Taken from the title of a book by Russian author Nikolay Gogel. But not meant in any way to reference the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It really is a song about feeling lost. Drowning in the mires of expectations and feeling like you are giving everything away while receiving little or nothing in return.

Dead souls

DEAD SOULS

A story about a young kid who is having an identity crisis. Bullied at school by other kinds, bullied at home by their dad. Where do they fit in? Who are they? They do not wish to conform to norms. Gender identity has been a massive topic, especially over the last few years. Society is going through huge changes at an alarming rate and many people are having trouble keeping up.

Son and a daughter

The song is about exactly what the title depicts. People are very quick to judge others based on what they look like whether it be body shape and size, colour of skin or even what they wear. This song is about standing up for the right to be who you are without prejudice

Self Conscious

Self conscious

Upbeat track with a drum and bass vibe crossed with vaguely goth/pop and sixties inflence all in one song! Lyrically querstioning the recent corruptiion charges of a certain Barosness. Inequality bites us again.

Baroness

Read into this song this what you may. In a world of chaos and division who knows what the future holds.

Campaign

We wrote this song 2 years ago from a jam in the studio together. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world to sing about a kid at school who does not fit in and then gets bullied at home by their father for not fitting the mould. There is a music video to go with this song with a direct and unapologetic statement: trans rights are human rights. It was created with love, rage, and solidarity, and aims to amplify trans voices and challenge the hostility and injustice too often faced by the trans community.

Son and a daughter ( radio edit )

This song epitomises for us the age of chaos and destruction that we have entered.

World on fire

14.World on fire (radio edit )

The track dives into the theme of manipulation and breaking free. It was recorded at home in pure DIY style.

Gaslight

Topical song about cyber attacks and cctv and people on the run.

Watch Out

A dirty sleazy walk through the city in search of a kindred lost soul..

The Absinthe sessions

I Can't Stand Anyone

The first song ever written by Healthy Junkies singer and guitarist Nina Courson and Phil Honey-Jones.

Glam sister

This song was written on the spot at the punk festival Nice n sleazy. The band were required to play another song and, having a makeshift line-up with a new drummer and bass player at the time they came up with this. The recording remains true to the original 'jam'.

Delirious Dream

This condition

This Condition

I rant about all the lies and bullshit that is constantly being fed to us.

All talk

All Talk

A poptastic lunge for the jugular, an ironic nudge and wink to the idea that we must be one particular thing or another...An acceptance and embracing of difference between race, gender or opinion.

Tricky Situation

Healthy Junkies  - Resistance

This is the 5th studio album by Healthy Junkies. It is the soundtrack to their USA tour diary.

Forever on the road

1.Intro

Formed in 2010 . Constantly touring since . Against all odds still going . Nothing to lose. Making new music is our compulsion . But will it save our souls? Do our souls need saving anyway ? We'll make music either way for as long as we can !
