Junkyard Choir are a 3-piece blues-rock band from London, England. From left to right, Tom Herbert (Drums), Mark Woods (Guitar, Vocals), Derek Williamson (Bass).
their mariachi-esque polka-rock might sound like John Candy's band in Uncle Buck but the South Londoners are not to be missed. Not that you could miss a polka-blues band in Brixton "

they bring the klezmer-influenced Beefheart warped blues to swampy rock'n'roll and pull the whole thing down into a crashing, shuddering mess of glory "
