TOP JOHNNY! is
redefining New Classic Rock & Melodic Hard Rock with it's signature
sound and high-energy live performances. Their music fuses diverse
genres such as Pop, Metal, Rap and Alt Rock combining them to create
intense songs with catchy hooks, huge guitar riffs, pile-driving Rock beats and anthemic,
sing-along choruses. The result? An electrifying combination that “gives the people what they want”. Even Canadian Rock Diva, Alannah Myles described their music as "Fantastic, rocking, fun, powerfully sung and produced! Great work!!"
The band released “Kick It!”, their debut 7 song EP in November 2005 (mastered by Bryan Martin) and a full-length, hard-driving, self-titled album "Top Johnny!” in December 2008 (mixed & mastered by Glen Robinson).
TOP JOHNNY! is
constantly striving to give their audiences more than they expect with
a slick, refined image, charismatic stage presence and a dynamic live
show that succeeds in exciting even the most discriminating Rock fan!
The band’s primary objective is to stimulate and engage their audiences
with unique, high quality original songs. The band is also ready for
any performance scenario boasting a large repertoire of hit cover songs
spanning over 30 years of new, modern, classic and alternative rock.
But first and foremost, TOP JOHNNY! wants to be defined by their live shows.
A TOP JOHNNY! concert
is not to be missed, epitomizing pure energy and spontaneity with TJ
Star regularly venturing out into the crowd to play his wailing guitar
solos, getting up close and personal with his fans. Band members are
all accomplished musicians often switching instruments in mid show to
surprise their audiences.
Formed in 2005, TOP JOHNNY! has
gone on to receive rave reviews for their immense wall of sound which
features songwriter TJ Star's powerful vocals and searing guitar, sexy
hard-driving bassist and back vocalist Karo with drummer Hitman
anchoring the rock solid rhythm section, and young guitar virtuoso Izzy
Slater adding yet another layer of magic to the band's monumental
sound.
TOP JOHNNY! is
also committed to making a difference by initiating lasting changes in
response to our planet's environmental & humanitarian challenges.
As such, the band is a proud supporter of the PLANET ALERT! FOUNDATION, a non-profit organization set up to distribute 10 percent of TOP
JOHNNY!’s gross
revenues to local and globally recognized projects having the best
chance of achieving lasting success in solving our planet's ecological
and humanitarian challenges.
TOP JOHNNY! is
produced by StarBrite Productions, Montreal, Canada and is the
brainchild of triple-threat (composer, performer and co-producer) TJ Star and his long time collaborator and Executive-Producer Mr. Positive(+).
