About Johnny Black

IF BOB DYLAN HAD BEEN BORN IN HARTLEPOOL AND BROUGHT UP ON A DIET OF TURKEY TWIZZLERS, THE JEREMY KYLE SHOW AND HEAT MAGAZINE HE JUST MIGHT HAVE SOUNDED A BIT LIKE OUR VERY OWN JOHNNY BLACK.

A SOCIAL COMMENTATOR COME PUNK FOLK BALLADEER, JOHNNY’S SONGS DETAIL THE GREAT BRITAIN OF THE THE CREDIT CRUNCH, THE ASBO, THE SUICIDE BOMBER, THE BINGE DRINKER, THE HAPPY SLAPPER. A COUNTRY WHERE CELEBRITY CULTURE HAS GONE MAD, WHERE THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE THAT EVERY YOUNG GIRL WANTS TO BE PARIS HILTON’S BEST FRIEND, AND WHERE FOOTBALLERS ARE AS FAMOUS FOR ROASTING YOUNG WAG WANNABES AS FOR THEIR SKILLS ON THE PITCH. HIS LOVE SONGS ARE AS UNCONVENTIONAL AS HE IS AND HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS. INTERNET SEX, STALKING, LOVE LESS RELATIONSHIPS, SUICIDE LOVERS, THE HOPELESSLY LOST THE DESPERATELY LONELY ALL FIGURE IN JOHNNY’S LYRICS. JUST THINK OF ROY ORBISON WITHOUT THE GLASSES AND THE FALSETTO, JOHNNY SING’S ABOUT JUST HOW EMPTY LIFE CAN FEEL WHEN YOU'RE CHASING YOUR MEDIA INSPIRED, MAKEOVER DREAMS OF A BETTER LIFE….
