"Junk" by James Freud

Australian singer/songwriter James Freud was a member of the 80s band, The Models. Before and after, Freud strived to get a solo career off the ground. In 1989 he released "Step Into The Heat," in which the single "One Fine Day" generated some buzz.

Freud released his final solo effort in 2008 called "See You In Hell," which contained a bevy of catchy rock tunes that should have been a breakthrough for this talented artist. "Junk" is just one of many highlights imbued with a fun sense of 80s attitude, not to mention reference to Deborah Harry.

Freud struggled with alcoholism much of his life, even writing two books about it. Sadly, he committed suicide in 2010.
