Johnny Boy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnny Boy are an indie pop band from Liverpool, England. They take their name from the eponymous character in Martin Scorcese's film Mean Streets. Their debut single Johnny Boy Theme features Harvey Keitel's opening dialogue 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]. Bradfield also co-produced their debut album Johnny Boy.
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 Sandista-era Clash having an, erm, shootout with Phil Spector."
