about
There are at least five people called John Davis who are/were recording and putting out music. 1. John Davis, born in Tennessee, is a founding member of the rock band, Superdrag. Davis' primary roles in the band are that of songwriter, singer and lead guitarist. By the time Superdrag was beginning work on their fourth full-length record, Davis was an alcoholic. One night as Davis was driving, he felt the presence of God. Davis gave up alcohol at that moment, and turned his life to Christianity. This inspired the metaphoric title of Superdrag's fourth album, Last Call For Vitriol. On March 8, 2005, Davis released his first solo album, playing all instruments on the record, with the exception of some bowed strings and percussion. The John Davis album is a combination of his signature pop melodies and a devout faith in God. In March 2006, John put alternate versions of the songs from his album on his website. He released his second solo album, Arigato!, in October 2007. 2. Veteran of many Washington DC area bands including Corm, Q and Not U, Georgie James and Title Tracks. Founded Shute Records. 3. John Davis was one of the most important artists on the Shrimper label. His solo recordings combined minimal lofi popsongs and spoken word parts. He released several albums in the 1990's, including ' Pure Night', 'Leave Home' and 'Blue Mountains'. He's probably best known for his work with The Folk Implosion. This is a collaboration with Lou Barlow of Dinosaur Jr. and Sebadoh fa
