   About the JOHNS
Preacher

click here for the JOHNS Video Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Southern Californias quartet, The Johns are the gritty side of rock and roll. Featuring members of Die Hunns, The Pushers, The Grabbers, The Bleeders, The Crowd and the Adz, it is no surprise these guys have been called one the most refreshingly new sounds to come out of Southern California in years, bringing a blend of punk rock & roll to your ears. Happy Magazine.

Exploding on the scene with their 2005 release of a 5 song EP, the band has garnered fans from San Francisco to Phoenix. Lars Frederickson got a copy of the EP and immediately put it in rotation on Rancid Radio- XM. Their energetic live show has kept the band busy, sharing the stage with acts Social Distortion, X, TSOL, The Street Dogs, Manic Hispanic, The Adolescents, Youth Brigade, Cadillac Tramps, & The Stitches at venues as diverse as Alexs Bar Long Beach, CA and The Fillmore San Francisco, CA.

The EP found its way to Anko Records, a newly formed label out of Orange County, CA. The label quickly signed the Johns and released a 3 song 7 that has been described as a reflection of todays dysfunctional love and yesterdays drug addiction. The Johns quickly entered AEG Studios with producer Paul Miner (Thrice-Atreyu-Confession-New Found Glory) to record their full length Preacher (out September 12th) and enlisted special guest Greg Kuehn (Bob Dylan-TSOL) ..boards. Guitarist Rob states, The influences of the Sex Pistols and Stones cut through in our music. Sham 69, The Stooges and X are also there. The music for this record was all written in the living room on an old 4 track then brought to rehearsal to finish. I wanted this record to sound as raw and as real as possible. Something to achieve the energy of our live performance says singer Tommy. He adds, When writing lyrics, I try to touch on an issue, situation or an event that has happened at some time in my life, or someone I know.

Preacher is 12 songs The Johns have nailed, this record is a life story of sex, drugs, morally corrupt love and of course, rock & roll. From Crack City a song that delves into the highs and lows of drug use, Going Down a life spiraling out of control, Political is about the system, its lies and peoples acceptance of conformity, to the title track Preacher and talks about deviation, sexual awakening and being lead down the wrong path, this record gets around the block.

A STATEMENT FROM EXENE CERVENKA
June 2, 2009
After some months of not feeling 100% healthy, I recently had some medical tests run
and the prognosis is that I am suffering from Multiple Sclerosis.
Apparently, it has been affecting me for quite some time.

Although this is obviously unfortunate news, I am choosing to see the positive in it.
I, and X as a band, have supported the Sweet Relief charity since the mid-1990's;
the irony of this is not lost on any of us. Sweet Relief was started as an aide to uninsured artists by musician Victoria Williams when she herself was diagnosed with MS in 1992.

While this diagnosis will most certainly mean some changes for me, personally, it will not affect my commitments to the current X U.S. tour, nor will it affect my solo album that is slated for release this fall on Bloodshot Records.

My focus will certainly be on maintaining my health--many people remain strong and continue to live their lives as productively as they had before an MS diagnosis and I plan to be one of those people.
