Johnny Unstoppable started in august 2006 when 3 members of Aduro, Wim (Vox), Tom (drum), Kenneth (guitar) decided to play some real brutal hardcore. They found a bassplayer in Nicho and the first line up was born.
JU played their first show in december in Antwerp (Den Drempel). Response was great and things were looking good.
Fast forward to September 2007, Nicho decides to leave JU to become the new guitarplayer in Pushed Too Far. This was a huge setback for us because we were going to record our first mini cd a couple weeks later, so replacement had to be found...and fast. Nicho recommended his good friend Philippe (Boenk) to us (they had played together in Shotgun and knew eachother for years). Recording went great and a couple months later we released 'Hard But Fair" but not before we had to search a new guy on vocals because Wim was tired of performing and the Hardcore scene in general, so obviously we had to part ways.
Introducing Tim (Penny) of Time Decides and Aduro.
people took us more serious and more shows were added to the list. but there was something missing. we felt like we needed to add a second guitar to our line up, so Philippe decided to switch to guitar (that was his first instrument so it felt like a natural thing to do for him and us). empty spot on bass? not for long. Alex (Forgotten Glory, Treshold Of Pain) is the newest part of the JU family and was already a good friend for years now.
