Provocative, Perverse, Trashy, Tasty Tunes

About Me

Perverse, Punchy, Pogo, Punk, Pop thats Provocative and Pro-active-Johnny Cheapo hails from the streets of San Bernardino, California. There you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Thus, a perfect atmosphere to conjure up true Rock n’ Roll mayhem . With his snotty, yet memorably catchy brand of punk rock , Cheapo’s music harkens back to the noise that made the Sex Pistols and Ramones household names. And his wild live shows are often accompanied by awed and inspired reactions from the crowd, who are often amazed that such soul and energy can still exist in this age of re-hashed rock n roll. Cheapo, who is furiously independent, also manages to release his own music on his own label called Smut Records. After two releases, Say Hello To Disaster (1999) and Rock N Roll Sinner (2002), his much over-due 3rd cd Misbehavin’ is due in the summer of 2006. Whatch for Johnny Cheapo to take the punk scene by storm in the next year where he will tour the US and Europe in support of his latest release!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
