JOHNNY BLACK BAND
JOHNNY BLACK BAND ALBUM

One would think that the world is small enough by now to know a punk rock legend like Johnny Black (aka. John Black) living and active in the New York area... also in Europe.

He started out in clubs like CBGB and in 1990 an obscure album was released under the name JOHNNY BLACK EXPERIENCE, which has long been out of print. Together with the well-known actor Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, among others) he put on the show WHO KILLED JOHNNY THUNDERS? and recorded two songs with Walter Lure, guitarist of Johnny Thunders And The Heartbreakers. Johnny Black was and is in the thick of things instead of just being there!

In fact, he has been so busy with shows in recent years that an album already produced has not been a focus for him. This is incredible not only because of the quality, but also because with Daniel Rey a renowned producer sat at the controls! Known for his work with the Ramones, Misfits, Gang Green, Rhino Bucket or Masters Of Reality ("Sunrise On The Sufferbus"), he gave the untitled disc an organic-transparent sound with a lot of authentic power, which brings the feeling of a sweaty club into the living room at home. A bit of a masterstroke!

While punk today is often mass pop, or conversely turns into hardcore, Johnny Black serves the original American school. A lot of rock‘n‘roll and (as they like to say today) classic rock, but also the brashness and attitude of punk and garage rock.
