about
There are many artists with the name Jonny: 1. A British psychedelic pop duo. 2. A power pop band from Nagoya, Japan. 3. A pop artist from Brazil. 4. A German schlager singer (Wolfgang Graf). 5. A non-music / field recordings artist. 1. A British psychedelic pop duo formed by Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub and Euros Childs of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. The self-titled, co-written album Jonny was released in 2011. 2. A power pop band from Nagoya, Japan. It started as a Weezer covers band but later started writing original music. They have self-released a mini-album called Jonny which they followed up with the double-A side Uncle fucker / Radio. Their first full-length album, also called Jonny, features re-recorded versions of the double-A side (proper studio with a proper budget). Stand out tracks include Where Is The Line (also re-recorded, this time from the mini-album) and This Is Not The Last Song. The album fleshes out the bands pop-punk sound, combining powerful energy with structurally complex writing and a catchy melody. Next came the Pop Star / Cranberry EP. Not really an EP, it contains the aforementioned two songs, a track called Overture which is basically a short, drunk, a cappello sing-a-long of Pop Star and a spoken word track called A Letter. Cranberry is a bit of a departure for the band – a slow, rambling number, almost grunge-like that marks a new maturity in the band and an glimpse into a future direction. This song was performed live a lot. Pop Star
