[27-10-09] Heartbreaks & Outtakes Tour In Full Swing
The Junction arrived at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with their tour 17 gigs in and although they were performing steadily on their year long tour in support of their Heartbreaks & Outtakes and Love Blood And Anything Above albums. But at the MGM grand the tour suddenly changed course if the first 17 gigs were of the band performing steadily and trying not to mess up then the Las Vegas gig was the start of the fun, they now knew the material enough to go out and have some fun with it and fun they had, the show was one and a half hours long and during this time the band performed 18 songs, brought special guests Lucy Tyrell, Robbie Stimson and Lauren Grogan on stage to perform together, there was also crowd surfing, a water fight and a flag set on fire. All in all a good nights work and a hell of a party.

The Junction have announced plans to release live material in the next few months.
They're yet to decide whether they are going to release a live album or a live EP/Single, they have announced that the live material released will be songs recorded from their gig at the Las Vegas MGM Grand or from a live performance in New York.
In other news, reports that Max Armstrong and Juliette Moore are engaged are false rumours according to an official statement from Max which says "Myself and Juliette aren't engaged, one day maybe we'll get engaged but at the moment it's not gonna happen we've not even been together for a whole year yet, it would be stupid to make such a commitment so soon in our relationship"

[November 15th 2009]
The official statement has been made by Max Armstrong and was read out to a crowd of reporters outside the hospital by a doctor.
"At 8:05 last night the parents of Max Armstrong had been stabbed at their family home in Jersey, Max received a phone call at 8:45 whilst in Canada and was flown to New Jersey and arrived at the hospital at 10:30 he waited with his brother and two sisters through the night and was awakened at 3:20am to the news that his mother had passed away and 1 hour later his father passed away. It's bound to be a difficult time for the family so we request that you give him the space that they need. Max has cancelled the rest of the north american leg of The Junction's tour and he'll be staying in New Jersey with his brother and sisters during this difficult time, he has also confirmed that his brother and sisters will be living with Max and his girlfriend Juliette Moore for the forseable future".

Hey guys sorry it's been a while since we updated our fans with some new news, but it's mainly because there hasn't been any news to tell you guys, We've just taken some time out and i've spent the last month with my family after my parents death but there is some news to tell you guys now.
First of all The Junction are going back on the road to finish our Heartbreaks and Outtakes tour on 8th January at the Newcastle Arena in the UK and we'll finish the tour on May 17th 2010 at the T99 Festival, Lisbon, Portugal.
After the tour finishes we're gonna take a break from the band and do our own thing for a little while but we'll be back in the studio in 2011 to work on another album.
During our time away from the band i'm gonna focus on other projects away from music, i'm currently finishing off the script for a film i've been writing for about 5-6 months everything is in place for the film to go ahead. I'll also be acting in a couple of films this year, so that should keep me busy for the next year.
I can't wait to get back on the road in January, thanks for all of your support.
Merry Xmas

Max Armstrong

Hey guys just another bit of information about the tour, We're pleased to announce that my close friend and 4th Street Band member Josh Perry will be joining us on tour were he'll be performing a song before The Junction's set and will also be joining the band during The Junction's set he'll be the 5th member of the band, but we have to point out that this is just until the end of our tour.
I hope you had a great christmas and have an amazing new year.

Peace And Love

"Hey guys, I haven't updated you guys for a while, so I thought I'd just come on and say hi, The tour's going really well and the support has been amazing we couldn't be happier about the success the tour has had, when the tour is over we will be taking a indefinite hiatus but at the moment the hiatus is only likely to be about 4-6 months we definitely won't be breaking up or anything like that. Thanks for listening"

"I've got some potentially bad news for fans of The Junction. We've been touring a lot together myself and the rest of the guys and our tours nearly over, it finishes in May but it's become so difficult to be in this band together. I'm still good friends with the guys but as a band touring together so often is just making this really difficult so this morning after last nights show, we decided to meet up at my hotel room and we sat together and had a long talk about what we should do and the main points to come out of this talk is that the chance to take time off from the band next year could help us or it could just make things more difficult because of other commitments. I feel that the band has run it's course for now, but there's always going to be the element of "Should We Return". I want to tour with 4th Street Band and I want to do a solo project and I also want to tour with my other recently formed band and I want to continue touring with different bands.
So after this discussion we decided that it would be best to end The Junction, not a hiatus, not a break but a break up.
There will always be the possibility of a comeback and we'll never rule that out but if we did come back it would most likely be later on in our careers.
I'm sorry for all of the fans who have supported us and helped us make it big but it's just not fun being in this band anymore.
There will no doubt be rumours of a possible new line-up but I will say this now This band will always have the same four members as it always has had, there is no way there will be a different line-up using our name and our history.
We will finish the current tour but it's likely to be the last tour for a really long time.
Again I'm very sorry to announce this but it has to be done."
Peace and Love
- Max Armstrong

BREAKING NEWS
Max Armstrong has decided to release a new single from The Junction. The song was recorded in February and it was set to be included on their next album which is no longer an option because of the recent split of The Junction. The single is called What Do You Do When Your Dreams Come True and Max Armstrong said this about the song. "For me it's the best song I've written so far, It was written for The Junction's next album but that's no longer going to happen. I like this song and the B-Side together because it's almost like the single is part 1 and the B-Side is part 2 they fit perfectly. I decided to release this because I'm proud of the song and I think our fans will like it, even though we've split up I'll still be considering releasing some of the unreleased songs we've recorded. I hope people like it."
The tracklisting is as follows:
1 - What Do You Do When Your Dreams Come True
2 - What Do You Do When They Don't
3 - The River View (Demo)
