Rocktronica

about

Rocktronica was a band from Northview High School in Sylvania, OH, who despite a relatively hostile to non-existant fan base, wrote some extremely catchy songs in their short lived career. I'm skeptical as to the availability of their only release proper, Breakdowntown, as only about 50 copies were actually made (by the band themselves) in Sam's basement. Rocktronica originally had just 4 members. Sam Johnson (guitars, vocals, backing vocals, drums, keys, synth-thingy) was one of the main songwriters for the band and brought a, shall we say, unique image to the band. Known much better for his work with the Winks, this is where he really started, before all those low-cut light blue v-neck shirts he loves so much. Sam is an extremely skilled guitarist and also played some trumpet or some shit in the Northview Marching Band. He was a key part in the band and wrote the fan-favorite The Ambiguous case. Ryan Connolly (power bass)brought the popularity to the band. Without Ryan it is very likely that nobody would have ever seen this band live. His girlfriend, and number one band groupie, Annie Durkin brought all the girls to the shows. Of course in a very Eric Clapton/George Harrison sort of way, Annie would later be stolen by Nate Secord. Ryan's pounding bass lines were an instrumental part of the band's success, or lack thereof. Danny Jahns (Lead Guitar, Keys) was the most fucked-up member of the band and was usually grounded. Practicing was the only time Danny was no
