Junior Pantherz

Schoolyard chum Corey Dahlen joined in early 1999 on Bass, effectively forming the Power Trio. They released their first E.P "Gravitational Pull" the same year. After a few local shows under their belt, the band released their first full-length Album "Polar Opposites" in 2000. It contained re-recorded songs from the first E.P, as well some new numbers. Both Polar Opposites and Gravitational Pull were limited to 50 copies, which were handmade by the band and sold out quickly.

The Last Two Million Years was released independently in 2001.[2]

The band's fourth release Ballistics was released independently in 2003.[3]

The songs on "Death by Life" cover much heavier topics compared to the earlier material. They released the album in June 2005 - but not without a few difficulties. While on the summer tour, the Junior Pantherz broke up. They played their "last" show on June 24, 2005 at Louis' Pub (a student bar in Saskatoon) with Whitey Houston and Voyd.

In 2006, Junior Pantherz reformed. Their first live return came in October 2006 when they opened for Danko Jones in Regina. The addition of Maygen Kardash (sister of bassist S.J.) on keys. Work begun on their 6th CD shortly thereafter. The band emphasized on arrangement and instrumentation. Rejoice, Remain was released in October 2007. In addition to the album, a collection of previously released old songs was released by the Saved by Vinyl label based out of Calgary, Alberta. "...Discover vinyl" is limited to 500 numbered copies on White Vinyl.
