   About Johnny Mental Is Dead!!

Johnny Mental first came together in September 2002 with the intention of creating a heavy uncompromising sound, intertwined with melodic sensibilities and catchy hooks. Hailing from the South Wales Valleys, Johnny Mental began terrorising local venues and at the end of 2002 a 4 track demo was produced which immediately got great reviews and was even playlisted on the Radio 1 Rock Show and Storm Radio.

2003 saw Johnny Mental continuing their metal assault across all over the UK including a spot on Cardiff's Compass Point Festival sharing the stage with Funeral For A Friend playing to over 2000 people which received a 4K live review from Kerrang. By the end of the year Johnny Mental were ready to return to the studio to record their part of a split EP with Shaped By Fate. Mighty Atom Records asked to release it and the EP went on to receive great reviews from Rock Sound (8/10) and Metal Hammer (7/10) and more airplay on the Radio 1 Rock Show.

Johnny Mental came runners up in Scuzz TV's Demolition Competition to play the Download Festival in 2004. The band were handpicked as finalists by Max Cavalera from Sepultura/Soulfly and Benji from Skindred. As part of the competition Johnny Mental made a music video which received regular rotation on Scuzz TV and the track made a Rock Sound covermount CD.

The bands debut album entitled PINING FOR THE FJORDS which will be released through Hangmans Jokes Recordings is available from August 2006.

"As a lesson in apocalyptic post Napalm Death noise-mongering Johnny Mental are a near faultless experience" UKMusic Search July 06

"Stunningly performed and well produced 'Pining For The Fjords' does everything you'd expect it to" Toxicpete.co.uk July 06

"Pining For The Fjords couldnt be heavier if Michelle McManus came neatly tucked inside the sleeve." High Voltage July 06

"Holding absolutely nothing back, Brit hopefuls Johnny Mental start as they mean to go on with some up-tempo riffing and throat shredding screams" Rock Sound Aug 06

"Pining For The Fjords is, for the most part, fierce, focussed and determined to impress." Subba Cultcha Aug 06

"Each song convulses and strains with the kind of eye-bulging intensity" Kerrang Sept 06

"Think Stampin Ground punching VOD square in the jaw. They are well on their way to greater things" Metal Hammer Oct 06

GET OUR ALBUM "SPIRIT OF THE STAIRWELL" DIRECT FROM THE BAND VIA OUR PAGE NOW!


"Its all killer, absolutley zero filler" 9/10 (rocksound)

"A sound both malevolent and hypnotic in its gargantuan volume!" KKKK (kerrang)

"Repetition, and metallic-ness of Shellac and the power of doom metal, the combination is brutal to say the least" (punk planet)

Weird band name, weird album title, weird artwork, weird song titles… but this shit is fucking awesome. (Aversionline.com USA)

SEVEN is incredibly proud to present a night of laughs and brilliant musicianship with ADRIAN EDMONDSON and THE BAD SHEPHERDS!

Saturday May 23rd

"The Bad Shepherds play punk songs on folk instruments. Not as a gag, but because we really like the noise. We think the songs are better than people remember. We love folk instruments. It works.

We do songs by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Stranglers The Jam, Sham 69, The Undertones, Talking Heads, Squeeze and others, even Kraftwerk! Alright, they're not all punk, but they come from roughly the same era.

We've mostly given the songs a kind of Celtic feel, and we've stuck in the odd reel and jig here and there. But occassionally we just thrash! I've always thought the excitement of a reel taking off is the nearest thing to the excitement of watching punk live in the 70's."

Tickets £15 advance from here:
