Jonny On The Rocks redefines punk. Comfortable in any musical environment, the band's sound is inspired by genre defying groups like The Clash and Beastie Boys.
As a multi instrumentalist and engineer, front man Jonny is responsible for the larger part of the studio production. In addition to being a prolific artist he surrounds himself with creative, like minded band members. It's on stage where you'll see them truly shine- the live performances are soulful and explosive. A genuine artist in his own right, Jonny deserves to be compared to the greats.
Coming of age far from the "Golden Era" of music, his work is a rebellion against what dominates TRL and ring tones. Jonny says -"I'm a real artist, here to make a statement, not sell cola."
Like movements in 60s San Francisco, 70s London, 80s New York and 90s Seattle, JOTR makes socio-political statements, as well as making people dance.
The song "Papa Shotgun", about a depressed fascist dictator, sounds like Ad-Rock with a drum machine doing a Nirvana cover. In other words; what the world needs right now.
JOTR formed in Parkdale, Toronto in 2005 by cousins Jonny Simone and Jr Dunn.
Jonny, a classically trained vocalist and songwriter turned hip hop DJ. Junior, a skilled drummer moonlighting as an MC. Currently developing in Brooklyn, recent additions to the band are: Mike and Dave Machinist; rhythm section for life, Alex Peru; percussionist, Tim Bauman; punk's only drummer/attorney, Isabella Zubor; a gorgeous vocalist and keyboardist, and David Aaron; a truly unpredictable individual.
