   About Go Johnny Go

Calling all Mods & Rockers!

Go Johnny Go are back.

The "Tinnitus Two", Citizen Lane and Tommy Gunn are about to release the new EP entitled Mod Suits, Quiffs and Rock n Roll Riffs.

Featuring five new tracks and two covers, this is a real treat for the followers of their "Gonzo Speed Blues" sound.

The are songs of protest again, such as The Smokin' Song, an "up yours" to the absurdity of a Nanny State; songs of dark moodiness with a 1950's twang in the number Beck & Call and songs cooked at Gas Mark Rock for an hour like Gonzo Speed Blues penned by drum beast Mr Tommy Gunn.

For fans of the late anti-establishment comedian Bill Hicks, the number Surfin' The Lake of Fire will ring true to those who'd rather Rock in eternity with dead Rock n Rollers in Hell than listen to - as Hicks would've said - "The fucking Backstreet Boys".

The Sonny Boy Williamson/Yardbirds cover I Wish You Would hark back to the days when Brighton's seafront was full of the sound of deckchairs being broken against the heads of Mods & Rockers.

To Have and To Have Not is a live favourite where The GJG Boys give a nod to fellow Clash fan Billy Bragg.

So buy as many Clash albums your Mum's pocket money will allow, pack your Rockabilly/Mod 45's and put on your brothel creepers/winklepickers, cos it's time to boogie on down to Go Johnny Go!

“They carry a smart echo of early rock & roll rebellion, as if he's about to flick the Vs at some daddyios by the second chorus”John Earls, Teletext Planet Sound

“Raw and Unusual” - Musonet Brighton

“Go Johnny Go rock like beasts as if they were born straight into leather romper suits" - Brighton Source Magazine

"These muthas are da shit, innit?" - His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
