In a world of musical compromises, Milwaukee journeyman Juiceboxxx stands alone. After countless singles, EPs and mixtapes, "I Don't Wanna Go Into The Darkness" is his first official full-length, set for release digitally July 31st on his own Thunder Zone Label (Jeff The Brotherhoodʼs label Infinity Cat is releasing the vinyl August 14th).

American music re-imagined for a new era, "I Don't Wanna Go Into The Darkness" is the most fully formed distillation of the Juiceboxxx vision to date. Somewhere between Def Jam and "Jack and Diane", this is the sound of a lifetime of rap and classic rock radio, punk shows and raves.

Not since peak-era Beastie Boys has rap and rock made so much sense together, but on "Darkness" they are just two elements fully integrated into a complete sound. Juiceboxxx connects the dots between a continuum of American music running from soul and garage rock through rap, Miami bass and Chicago House. This is Mike Skinner if he were American, or Beck if he worshiped Springsteen instead of Dylan.

Years of unhinged performances and high-impact touring crossing between rap, punk and dance circles have built up the legend and Juiceboxxx has the stories to prove it. How many people have toured with Public Enemy, Big Freedia AND noise weirdos? How many people play at glossy dance clubs one night and basement punk houses the next? Juiceboxxx does this because there is no other option: he is on a mission. "I Don't Wanna Go Into The Darkness" is the ultimate dispatch from the front lines of the Thunder Zone. Never Surrender Forever.
