Johnny Truant @ CMW 2007

in
By Jamie Hunter (CHARTattack) March 12, 2007 12:30 pm
Background/Composition: Johnny Truant invaded Canadian soil with their brand of straight-up metal and hardcore. No-nonsense, balls-to-the-wall riffage, lots of breakdowns and a singer that sounds like he eats glass and washes it down with Jack Daniel's —after tea, of course. Grade: 89 Comment: Lots of screaming and a technical dual-...

Edgefest 2's Smaller Acts Upstage The Headliners

By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) July 18, 2006 3:30 pm
If Edgefest 1 brought the rock, Edgefest 2 definitely brought the punk. Or pop-punk, anyway. Focusing on one genre instead of a mixed bag like previous years produced uneven results, but young punks flocked to the Molson Amphitheatre to see a wide array of mainstream and underground punk talent. One of the great things about going with the...

Fuck Johnny Truant

A lot of bands will say that they love Canada, but Johnny Truant really love Canada. Most people who've seen the British metal band on one of their many tours with homegrown heroes Alexisonfire and Cancer Bats would be forgiven for mistaking them as Canucks, and the boys would likely take it as a compliment. This is largely because Johnny Truant...

Johnny Truant Want To Make A Better Heavy Metal World

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) February 21, 2007 6:30 pm

By Angela Kozak (CHARTattack) July 6, 2006 5:00 pm
Olly Mitchell, the vocalist for up-and-comers Johnny Truant, sees the band's appeal as something very simple. "Our band is a metal band from the U.K. and we're all incredibly good-looking and we're incredibly good at playing metal," he says with a laugh.
