"I have listened to THE SMELL OF ROCK AND ROLL dozens of times now without getting even a little tired of it's clean melodies, intelligent hooks, and singable lyrics. Every song on this CD shines like a diamond."
- Glenn Tillman, Hellride Music
"Johnny Kobra has achieved a timeless sound without seeming retro or ironic, but perfectly genuine."
-Wade Coggeshall, Hardcore Sounds
"When I heard the first track, I knew I was in for a good time. 'Can't Get Enough' is an excellent introduction for the fun that is to follow. On tracks like 'Wild Horses' and 'Cinnamon Stone', Kobra presents bluesy, poppy rock without being annoying… something some major label acts could stand to learn from."
- Jol Online, Glitzine
BUY OR DIE:
Johnny Kobra was born and raised in Sweden, where he toured and appeared on TV, Radio, Stockholm Water Festival etc. in various bands as a guitar player/backup vocalist, most notably with Syndicate (ft. vocalist Andreas Johnson) and Zircus (ft. Slim Pete, Leif Sundin)
Currently based in Los Angeles, CA.
The debut album titled "The Smell Of Rock And Roll" in 2006, displays catchy tunes, cut with a rustic edge, sprinkled with spicy blues-dust, but there is more to it than most catch on a first listen.
The follow-up, which is planned for release sometime in 2009 goes deeper and shows a more polished, "three-dimensional" sound than "The Smell...", but still shows strong ties to his true roots.
The fangs may sting your skin, but the venom that infects your blood is a pleasant drug that will seduce you and make you beg for more.
