notes
Personal lyrics set to melodies you'll be singing for days. An honest take on independent rock: Independent of trends, "scenes" and the stress of "image" above music. The band name is about anonymity and doesn't have anything specifically to do with the singer (note the different spellings). The Johns aim to proceed as an undefinable sort of pop music, drawing from a history of playing metal, jazz, funk, blues, folk and art rock and pulling from influences as varied as Neil Young, Mike Patton, Television, The Police, Les Paul & Mary Ford and onwards and upwards.
Following the release of "The Johns E.P." in 2007 the band has played a series of packed shows in their hometown of Chicago. In the fall of 2007 they made their first trip to the east coast as they played to a crowd 15,000 people in Boston for the Red Sox World Series pep rally. Shortly after, The Johns hit the studio to start work on their much anticipated full length record "foresight/poorsight". (CD RELEASE SHOW 3.31.08)
