JOHN. It’s a cryptic and unsearchable band name but it serves an important manifesto. Not only is it logical – being comprised of John Newton (drums/lead vocals) and Johnny Healey (guitar/backing vocals) – but it’s deliberately mundane, a response to the sensationalism that was often promoted through rock music when JOHN began playing together in 2013. “It’s a bit like shooting yourself in the foot,” explains Newton, “but it helps remind you that the creative drive is what’s central to the project. The sensational collateral is just cladding that can easily become a hindrance to your intentions&quot;. Drawing inspiration from the DIY approach of independent enterprises such as Dischord Records, the pair formed in London’s East End opting to self-manage, self-release and self-distribute. The band released their debut LP &#x27;God Speed in the National Limit&#x27; on their own imprint Pets Care Records in 2017. Critical praise swiftly followed and led to invites to support likeminded peers inc. IDLES, Mclusky and METZ. 2019 saw the arrival of a second album, &#x27;Out Here on the Fringes&#x27;, which catapulted the band into the UK Indie Vinyl Chart Top 40 and featured as an Album of the Day on BBC 6 - with three successive playlisted singles. 2021 saw the arrival of their critically acclaimed UK charting LP &#x27;Nocturnal Manoeuvres&#x27;, followed by brand new 2023 Ltd 7&quot; &#x27;Theme New Bond Junior / Hopper On The Dial&#x27; opening a new chapter for the duo.</p>

Composed of singer-guitarist David Schellenberg and drummer Dan Unger, the punk band is responsible for bracingly intense full-lengths about the anxieties and insecurities of daily life, including the 2021 LPs Quitter and Exhaling. But with their third album Wrong Dream, which is out via Artoffact on April 28, they’ve written their most introspective and adventurous music yet. Across nine unpredictable songs, they grapple with integrity, grief, tumultuous relationships, and universal questions that come with trying to do the right thing. Co-produced by Seth Manchester (The Body, METZ) and stand-in bassist Drew Riekman (Blessed), it’s a document of a band pushing themselves as far away from complacency as possible to make something intentional and compelling.</p>
