JUNKYARD LIPSTICK is proud to announce the joining of Jo-Marié (Jo) Smit as their new vocalist and Robyn Bruwer as Rhythm Guitarist to the band's current line-up. The band now sports a thrashing five member line-up which will add to their ongoing assault.

Jo-Marié has been training with George Schoombee (ex-Bulletscript, ex-Warinsane) since December 2014 and the band is excited about the heavier aspect she will be adding to the band's music.

"Metal has always been part of my life, so much so that it became my way of life. I've always said metal is not a genre, it's a lifestyle. Joining JUNKYARD LIPSTICK is an honour and a privilege. Not only do I get to live my dream and carry the flag, I now work with four insanely hot and incredibly talented women! I am proud to be part of such a unique group and may I add - boys - I hope you are ready for what's to come!" ' Jo

Robyn Bruwer previously played guitar for alternative rock band "The Sin" but has always had more of an interest in playing metal.

"I've always been a fan of JUNKYARD LIPSTICK, especially over the last 2 years as I've seen how they have progressed and become heavier. As soon as I heard they were interested in having a second guitarist, I had to jump at the opportunity." - Robyn

She will be sharing axe duties with current lead guitarist, Louise Gorman and the band is excited about the possibilities this will open up musically, especially for a fuller sound and harmonies.

We are also proud to announce the release of our single "Damned in the Deep South" featuring our new vocalist, Jo. This is what you can expect from our new material in future. The song is available for free download: https://soundcloud.com/junkyard_lipstick/damned-in-the-deep-south-1/s-bStZ

This is the biggest show we will play in our career as a band so far and we cannot express our gratitude enough for this amazing opportunity." - Lucinda (Drummer)
