Tracks like Atom Bomb City, Cut It Loose and the cult single These Boys Are Athletes (featuring Bis vocalist Manda Rin) earned radio play and industry buzz - yet the album itself was never formally released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecovered from early recordings and demos, this reconstruction reflects the original intent: a high- energy journey mirroring the band's live intensity. A document of a moment when MySpace buzz, indie discos and electro experimentation collided in small venues and word-of-mouth scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally the album is released on vinyl via independent label Last Night From Glasgow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescribed at the time as \"infectious fun\" and \"a musical party,\" Juno!'s lost album now stands as both a time capsule and a missing link--bridging early-2000s indie culture with the borderless, genre-mixing dance scenes that followed. They have been praised across the media including in The Scotsman, Metro, Daily Record, Radio 1, The Big Issue and The List.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAST NIGHT FROM GLASGOW","offers":[{"title":"Vanilla Vinyl LP","offer_id":54850548367683,"sku":"RPT-33636","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/PROP_20260928_1738_170640_345_p_0787480474650_26_024.jpg?v=1790677182","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/juno-harder-than-it-should-be-the-lost-album","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
