The Broken Johnny’s: Unleashing the Spirit of ’70s Rebellion from Colchester, Essex
Buckle up, punk comrades, because The Broken Johnny’s are not just a band; they’re a time-traveling sonic punch straight out of Colchester, Essex, transporting you to the glorious chaos of ’70s punk. Their debut album, “Fever,” recorded in the crucible of lockdown 2020-2021, set the stage for their explosive journey, and in 2022, with “Stand In Line” echoing through the streets, they’re proving they’re here for the long haul.
“Stand In Line” captures the raw, unbridled energy of a band refusing to be silenced by the solitude of lockdown. It’s an audible rebellion, a testament to the DIY ethos that birthed punk in the first place. They don’t just play music; they channel the frustration, the defiance, and the unapologetic spirit that defined the punk movement. The EP is a cocktail of blistering riffs, and a middle finger raised high against conformity. Each track is a call to arms, urging you to break free from the chains of the mundane.
Live and Unapologetic:
These Essex rebels don’t just exist in the studio; they thrive on the live stage, sharing it with punk royalty like Cockney Rejects, Special Duties, Menace, and The Ramonas.
In the realm of punk rock, The Broken Johnny’s are a breath of fresh, rebellious air. From the gritty streets of Colchester to sharing stages with punk legends, their journey is an ode to the enduring spirit of punk. So, crank up “Stand In Line,” let the raw power of The Broken Johnny’s wash over you, and remember: punk’s not dead; it’s alive, kicking, and screaming in Essex.
