Artist History JOHNNY ON THE SPOT started out in may ´97 with members from NEW ART RIOT, ACURSED, SHIVER and GOLG, all well known bands from the Söderköping (SKPG) and Norrköping hardcore, punk-scenes. Allot of people compare JOHNNY ON THE SPOT’s music with bands like SAMIAM, STARMARKET and TEXAS IS THE REASON, which obviously are some of their influences, though they have their own sound. About a month from the band’s start they spent about four hours in the studio and released their first s/t demo. Around the same time they played their first show together with BOB TILTON in SKPG. Some people bought the JOHNNY ON THE SPOT demo and most of them actually really liked it. A friend of them liked it so much that he wanted to release a MCD with them on his new label, SoundQuest Records. So, the band released a four track MCD called "DO YOU CARE?". During 1998 the band lost two of the original band members, Per and Niklas. Per left because his career in ACURSED took up to much time, he had always seen Johnny as a side project and it had become to serious. Niklas because, well now one really knows. But the rumors say it was because he got tired of long rehearsals and didn't feel that he got anywhere music wise because of him being a guitar player (he played bass in Johnny). Johnny took on two fresh members at once. Zwedda who used to play in ACURSED took on the guitar in "johnny" after Per had left. On bass is now Joakim Göthberg and he has shown to be not only a copetent bassplayer but also a good songwrighter. The new line up seems to be working out just fine, and Andreas says that he really likes playing with Zwedda, which is one of his oldest and dearest friends. Recently the guys have been working with new material and have taken there music to new level. Later this fall Johnny will record six or seven new songs and they will hopefully be released later this year. Keep you eyes open for this milestone in rock history!
