Johnny One Match is often compared to bands like Story of The Year, Brand New, and The Ataris, but their sound is certainly their own. Their songs have an honesty that is characterized by a perfect synchronization of words and music. It's an honesty that immediately pulls the listener in and gives them something that they can't help but relate to. Their blend of punk and rock has brought them a multitude of live dates including two east coast tours as well as the opportunity to share the stage with The Junior Varsity and Jamestown Story (formerly known as And Then I Turned Seven). Johnny One Match (under their previous name, Straitlaced) also recorded their last E.P. 'Should Sky Fall' at Long Island's Vudu Studios where Hopesfall, Emanual, The Chariot, and many other note-worthy bands have recorded.
"Sing-able melodies, lyrics that could break your heart... These guys have it all."
-Jennifer Mattern (Audioxposure.com)
Johnny One Match has music in their blood. It is evident not only in their inspired songwriting, but also in their pedigree. Twins Dan and Andrew give thanks to their grandfather, jazz great Charlie Parker, for filling them with a natural talent for making music. It would be an understandable mistake to assume that all of the hard work Johnny One Match puts into their music makes for less fun, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Beneath the startling relatability of their songs is a foundation of rock that is especially apparent when they play live. Johnny One Match is a band that converts crowds into fans with each of their no-nonsense, high-energy live performances.
"[Johnny One Match] rocks and has fun while doing it..."
-Justin Charles Harlan (Crapfilter.net)
Johnny One Match has set the bar high for themselves, both in terms of their artistic integrity and their musicianship.
One gets the sense that they are on the verge of something big.
