Johnny Dynamite is a Philadelphia based post-punk artist signed to Born Losers Records. Over the course of his first three albums, Johnny Dynamite has emerged as a succinct storyteller and songwriter. The characters inside Johnny’s dream world are lucid, manic, and brimming with pangs of nostalgia. Poised against dark and atmospheric instrumentals, his harrowed vocal delivery and lyrics paint a picture of lost youth, hopeless romanticism, and teenage rebellion.
Dynamite blends many different genres and connects the dots between different pockets of subculture; equal parts glossy new wave and anthemic rock n’ roll. Johnny’s signature beat centric production style incorporates hard hitting drum machines, 80’s style guitar riffs and ethereal retro synth patches. His sound has been compared to legacy acts such as Pet Shop Boys, INXS, and The Cure as well as more modern acts such as MGMT and M83.
