Jonny Rep – Cork indie/pop supergroup
What you may need to know…
01. Indie with a dose of humour and a side-serving of nineties psych-worship is the order of the day for Cork outfit Jonny Rep (named for the Dutch soccer legend).
02. Beginning life as a sideproject of members of Leeside bands Rulers of the Planet, LMNO Pelican, The Shanks and Semi, the band has been active for the bones of the last decade, with intermittent single releases.
03. Streaming above is new single Call Me Soon, taken from upcoming album Cold Sunbeam.
04. Cold Sunbeam is due for release on February 24th, with launch gigs and release formats to be announced.
Thoughts: A self-effacing riff on the Stone Roses’ grandeur masks some fairly prescient social commentary.
Was the Dutch player not Johnny Rep?
