About The John Punch Band

Catchy, energetic, foot-tapping and beat-driven all describe the sound.
The message that John Punch has for you comes across in the music and the band's feelings about the message. "All around good times with friends and passionate music ... [highlighting] social issues and injustice ... and the absurdity of how people continue to treat each other today," Cory will tell you. The band reflects a growing social movement against the mainstream, which Canada seems to be leading.
But who the fuck is John Punch? Cory came up with the name: "I originally heard of John Punch from the Howard Zinn book ["A People's History of The United States"] and ... it's an awful story of racism that more people should know about, and none of us should ever forget. I'm not sure entirely why, but I'm attracted to that man's slave name that was given to him."
The John Punch sound could be the soundtrack to a revolution — or at least to some great parties.

Independicitis	Apr 17 2008 12:02 PM I finally [FINALLY!] got a chance to check out those bands you were telling me about like a month ago. (Or was it longer? :() Really, really dig Timber Timbre. There must be something in the water in Ontario ... I mean aside from the pollution that floats up from the states. Hope that things are going swell for you. Message me back when you have a chance. I'd get back to you more often but everything's going against me in that regard. Computer fried, still can't afford the internet ... etc.

Independicitis	Aug 21 2007 11:07 AM The ironic thing about you inviting me to be your friend is that just as you were doing so, I was searching for you on myspace. And I NEVER check myspace anymore. I always told you we were on the same wavelength, Cory. I'm glad to see your page up! I hope to hear some more tracks soon! When you have the time, how about a North American tour? ;)
