Jackson and Taylor were classmates for years when they finally discovered that both of them played instruments during the ninth grade.

It was at this time they were able to get out of their deal with Universal and continue independently with Matthew Jameson taking on the role of manager.

With Indica stepping out of the situation due to budget constraints, the band continued to keep in contact with Gus and worked to gather the funds needed to record in Brooklyn with Gus and his partner Werner F. Their second full-length record, Another Link In The Chain, was the product of this collaboration.

In celebration of their 15th anniversary, The Junction announced that they were "entering the studio to record [their] follow up to ‘Grievances’ with Jose Contreras", and that it would be their "first release via Culvert Music".

[4] [5][6] The band name was originally 'The Funky Junction', which was derived from Jamiroquai’s Funktion when Jackson played bass.
