Just in Time

In spring of 2002 Brad Schinkel decided that after more than five years of playing guitar, it was time to put those skills to use and start a band. The band "The Hardcore Apples" was founded a few minutes later. The band would not last long as Brad quickly dropped the idea. Later in fall of 2002 while wandering the halls of a Kitchener, Ontario
high school Brad met up with a young bass player named Mike Burgetz. The two began jamming on lunch breaks in the high school halls. At this point Just in Time was born. They started off playing covers of their favourite songs and then moving on to writing original music.

In the spring of 2003 Just in Time signed on to play their very first gig at a high school dance. The playlist consisted of a few covers and a few originals. The show went well, the band had the audience singing along to songs despite the lack of percussion. The world was Just in Time's oyster.

Shortly after their first gig, Just in Time took on their first official drummer, Graham. After recording some tunes, Graham made the decision to leave the band, those recordings would never be found. During the fall of 2003 Just in Time shot a bunch of crappy videos on a primative digital camera. These videos would build "Just in Time: The Movie" which featured off-the-floor performances and other useless crap. From these videos though, Just in Time was able to create their first album, "Sorry We're Late" which was released on a real CD. Over the coming months the band would start to work on new material.

In spring of 2004 Just in Time signed up to play another high school dance. This time things did not go well. The band played two sets during the course of the evening. The first set went well, however during the second set technical issues caused the band to cut things short. This was a huge blow to the band. The band would go on hiatus for a few months after this.

Later in the summer of 2004 Just in Time continued writing material and shot their second movie, "Just inTime the Movie 2: A Crappy Sequel to a Crappy Movie". While shooting the movie the band recorded their second album "Road Kill Rock". After a string of drummer tryouts, the band also welcomed their second official drummer, Chris Jones. With Chris in the band, they began writing new material and planning bigger and better shows. The band was starting to come together in early 2005.

n spring of 2005 Just in Time played their biggest show ever and things went over well, however shortly after the show Chris left, and Brad and Mike decided to call it quits. Shortly after the split the band would release their live album and then stay dormant.

In fall of 2010 Brad and Mike talked on the phone and decided it was due to time get the band back together and make a new album. They began
jamming with a few new songs and some older covers. Over the next few months a pile of new material was created and the decision to make a professional music video was made. Late in summer of 2011 Just in Time brought the third official drummer into the game, Dave Jeary, though due to commitments with making the music video the band would not jam with Dave until fall of 2011. In October of 2011 the band shot the music video for "The Devil's Guitar" which is now airing on networks across Canada. In January of 2012 Just in Time welcomed their newest memeber, J.P. McKessock as the second guitarist for the band. In the fall of 2012 "Better Late Than Never" was finally released alongside the new video for "One Reply" which marks the 10th anniversary of Just in Time. Shortly after the album release, the band let Dave go due to ongoing troubles. However, in January of 2013 Jay Adair signed on as the new drummer for band. Already work on the next album has begun along with plans for the next music video and of course setting up shows in whatever cities want to hear some punk rock. The future is very bright for Just in Time, possibly the greatest ensemble of musicians in the history of time...
