About Me

The band as assembled originally consisted of:

James Johnson is the owner/proprietor of the Noisevault recording studio in Dallas and close friend and music producer for the Fendertones. He has recorded some well known bands and artists, like the Stratoblasters and the Transcenders. Be sure to check out his studio’s website here.
