Fresh Meat Monday - Johnny Reb


Would you care to introduce yourself?

When we last checked we were Johnny Reb; the necessary continuation from the Close Lobsters. We somehow just recorded with the mythical Boz Boorer of Morrissey fame in Portugal. Was ok, like.


How would you describe the music you make?

It's quite urgent & reasonably well informed. Thus elevating it somewhat.. (though it still smells like a wet dog)


How did you start out making music?

We listened to Two Door Cinema Club & the rest is history (theatrical wink)


What process goes into the way you write songs?

We slap on Mazzy Star, start crying, tops come off & we attempt to play along..


What can people expect from your live shows?

Full refunds & minimum enjoyment.


What are you all listening to at the moment?

Italo/shoegaze/twitchingarsehole... No, not really.. Rod Stewart 'I Don't Want To Talk About It' & contemporary Cantonese pop.


What can we expect to see/hear from you in the near future?

A quiet yet persistent knock from under the floorboards.
