[edit] Biography

Formed in 2002, Johnny Boy take their name from the protagonist in Martin Scorsese's film Mean Streets. Their debut single Johnny Boy Theme features Martin Scorsese's opening voice-over from the film.

Their single "You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes And You Get What You Deserve" was produced by James Dean Bradfield (of the Manic Street Preachers) and achieved critical acclaim.[1][2][3] Bradfield also co-produced their debut album Johnny Boy, which received mixed reviews.[4][5][6][7]

Johnny Boy describe their sound as "Church bells, boy-girl vocals, loops, twists, warps, walls of sound and edgy guitars combined to rekindle the idea of Sandinista!-era Clash having an, erm, shootout with Phil Spector."
