The Hold Up



Since the start of 2007 JuggaNote have been dedicated to developing their own take on alternative hip-hop, combining musical genres such as metal, rap, rock and occasionally reggae, predominantly amalgamating those styles more typically associated and ingrained with angst and attitude. From their first live shows early on in 2007 the band has been rocking stages around the U.K mainly concentrating on home turf in South Wales, working hard to bring their sound to the masses through any and every medium available. With 3 CD releases in as many years and featuring slots on several compilation albums worldwide JuggaNote continue to build their underground following with particular recognition in Japan, Germany, Russia and throughout Eastern Europe.
