"Juke Kartel is a band of brothers who live to create

music"

Rocking loud and hard, with a respectful nod to the
blues, Juke Kartel is a charismatic blend of talent,
passion and dedication with a downright mischievous
streak.

As young teenagers, front man Toby Rand, guitarists
Todd Burman and Dale Winters and bassist Tommy Kende
first came together to forge what became Juke Kartel.
Drummer Jason Pinfold joined the band just last year.
Like brothers they finish each other's sentences,
bicker, bait and wind each other up, but the fraternal
love is self-evident, along with the mutual admiration
and respect. "We're more than just band mates. We're a
family that chose each other."

Juke Kartel spent the last year recording their debut
album “Nowhere Left To Hide” at Seattle's renowned
London Bridge Studios with legendary rock producer Rick
Parashar (Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, 3 Doors Down,
Nickelback). "Juke Kartel is one of the best rock bands
to come out in a long time,” says Rick. "They
definitely are on their way to being an arena rock
band with a 60's, grunge-like quality that gives them
an edge."

Among the bands many accomplishments, their biggest
highlight was being the first unsigned artist to
perform at the MTV Awards Australia. The band had
played its fair share of small clubs and pubs for the
last few years before Nickelback asked them to open
two stadium gigs in Melbourne last year. Followed
by a national arena tour of the USA and Canada.
The guys then travelled back to Australia to do their
own national tour, backed up immediately with the
main support spot for the Seether tour.

Leaving Australia behind, the band has moved to Los
Angeles to focus on breaking in the US as well as to
start filming “On The Road with Juke Kartel” – a TV
series based on their journey as a foreign artist
taking on America. Expect much more to come.
