Bio
In 2008, the boys of Jonny Rumble put their collective frustrations into Almost Dead, their third full-length release. In blasting an eloquent and full-throttled critique of our misguided modern social and political state, the album served up the bitter rebellion and social conscience of early punk culture with a wickedly melodic edge. It was "a finger pointing, blame laying manifesto," according to vocalist/guitarist Brian Webb. Now, after several well-received interim singles (not to mention a string of bad luck that included hurricanes, hazardous jobs, jail, stolen vans, burglaries, broken bones, busted teeth and severe burns), Jonny Rumble is back with the a new full-length titled JR, an explosive mix of power pop, garage rock and alt-country. The album features the monster single "BRZRKR," the liltingly psychedelic "Stumped" and the beautiful piano and pedal steel-driven "Time." Rounding out Jonny Rumble's line-up are Patrick O'Connor (vocals, keys, guitar), Jeremy Pryor (vocals, bass) and Seth Thomas (vocals, drums). JR the album will be released on vinyl as a limited edition on June 15, 2010. .... Rock Proper, an online music distributor/net label launched in 2009, will be the exclusive digital distributor of the album. You can download the full record for FREE at www.RockProper.com -

Recent Rants & Reviews
--SouthSide's Playlist
"Light on its feet, floating on psychedelic jam band-like grooves and bursts of pop, the four-piece’s fourth album is fun, as a whole."
-- TRUE/SLANT
"A power-pop band with a pronounced lounge-rock twist, Jonny Rumble has a soft spot for setting powerful sing-along hooks afloat on a sea of unshakable grooves."
-- A.V. CLUB
"Power pop requires hooks, man. Jonny Rumble seem to have the chops to make it work and, when it works, it is pure magical magic."
--Loudloop Press
"Jonny Rumble sticks to power-pop basics, loaded with maximum riffage and hooky choruses"
-- Timeout Chicago
"One amazing band! Every single they put out is GREAT."
-- ONE KIND RADIO
"This is a band you can call on and know they will be ready to rock"
-- LOVE SHACK BABY
"Jonny Rumble rollick through Courtney's basement looking for the perfect pop song, and I think they have a solid gold hit on there hands! This song is good fun without the smell of a damp basement!"
-- WEXT Exit 97.7
"I'm quite addicted to Courtney's Basement. I have to admit. Jonny Rumble was always melodic, always good, but these songs are pop gems."
-- THE VINYL VILLAIN
"This seasoned power-pop band, that has had three previous full-length releases, nicely blends The Strokes quickness with some classic Ramones punk, yet manage to stand alone with a unique hook-happy sound that doesn't come around too often."
-- UR CHICAGO
"They combine the ferocious energy and unshakable grooves of Motown' best with Chicago's long-standing love of power-pop; think MC5 jamming with Cheap Trick, but at Ramones tempos. If that isn't a sign of life, I don't know what is."
-- Jim DeRogatis
"There’s a melancholy that echoes on tracks like “First Pick” and “Saved” which balances out the eyebrow-raising meld of musical anger and vocal assault; Rumble’s diversity in composition sets them apart today from the other distortion-loving alternative punk-revivalists that saw their heyday in the mid-nineties."
--ChicksWithGunsMag
"The band steps up their game and works hard to craft inventive new phrases that still evoke years past, but this time there's a distinctive stamp of the band's own personality on every riff. Jonny Rumble's time to rise above the scene's din just might have arrived."
-- Chicagoist
"Let them beat you senseless with their music, or they'll beat you senseless with their music. Come on kiddies everyone is doing it so why not you? "Rock N' Roll is in our heads now."
-- Wassup Magazine
"Rock ‘n’ roll hasn’t kicked the bucket yet, but according to Jonny Rumble's new record Almost Dead, it’s definitely seen better damn days."
-- Illinois Entertainer
"Almost Dead," is written as a kind of death knell for the rock 'n' roll that members love, and whether you agree or not, they're going to play it loud.
-- Staten Island Live
"What most impresses, is that there is real substance to all of Jonny Rumble's material. Loud, direct, and angry, their music is filled with intelligent commentary."
-- WLUW 88.7
"Lyrically, singer Brian Webb offers up some knowledgeable yet twisted sentiments, but also shows a diverse vocal range. Jonny Rumble is a reminder of the rebellious and enticing "set shit on fire" school that has been fueling the rock 'n' roll flame since the '50s."
-- REAX Music Magazine
.. "In terms of style, there is one word that best describes the music of Jonny Rumble: Loud, thrash, angry, and straight to the point!"
-- I Rock Radio
"The disc-opening title track is the best reason to give “Almost Dead” a spin. It’s honest — “There is a man named Neil Young / And he said that ‘rock would never die’ / He was wrong / It’s almost dead” — and funny (taking shots aT both Nickelback and the Dave Matthews Band) and may well be the finest song Jonny Rumble have recorded."
