The San Diego via Boston alt trio's complete original studio recordings, remastered, restored, and compiled into one lavish box set. Wait A Lifetime gathers the band's peerless albums Junk and This Afternoons Malady, plus a first time vinyl pressing of R.I.P., expanded to include their unfinished 3rd album, singles, splits, and comp tracks. The 28-page accompanying booklet details the entire saga via Nina Cocoran's essay and dozens of period photos, all housed in a stunning case-wrapped and varnished box. Sink into the ground and fly...

 

Few bands capture the feeling of discovery quite like Jejune. Formed through chance encounters at Berklee College of Music in 1995, the trio of Araby Harrison, Joe Guevara, and Chris Mendez Vanacore came together with no real plan—just a shared instinct to make something honest. That instinct carried them from Boston practice rooms to stages across the country, helping shape the sound of late-’90s emo and melodic punk.

 

This project collects their complete recorded output, tracing a band in constant motion from the raw immediacy of Junk to the expansive reach of This Afternoons Malady, and the final recordings that hint at where they might have gone next. Throughout, Jejune’s signature blend of interwoven vocals, emotional clarity, and restless curiosity set them apart.
