Editorial Reviews

Fresh from recording the soundtrack for the independent film "Flickering Blue", comes the second studio album by The Jonnies. This Michigan based rock band serves up incredible songwriting, inspirational and amazing musical performances. Pat Dawdy delivers rivetting lines set to the strong rhythms delivered by percussionist Robert Curnutte and bassist Jeremy DeHaan. With the amazing stylings and ability for lead guitar master Dave DeHaan to create songs-within-songs, the listener is taken through a fantastic musical journey in the merged stylings of Americana, British Invasion and other rock influences. Guest artist Peter Trappen from Umpteen Records adds a fantastic element on "My Favorite Room". For MP3 sample previews of this CD, visit The Planet5 Records Official Web Site: www.planet5.com

I love this band!I heard them at the Radio Tavern in Grand Rapids, Michigan in early August. Maybe one of the best live 4-piece bands ever! I'm playing "Songs From The Resistance" as I write this. Intense and beautiful.........the jonnies are a bit "heavier" live....maybe on the next disc they will include some stuff from their live shows! My faves are "Money and Sex"...."Naked is the Price"...."No More Flags" and "A Land of Silent Thunder". Their social attitude and positive lyrics give us much needed hope in this world gone wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldnt "Resist", August 25, 2004

The new album by the Jonnies is an album to pick up. I have listened to the tracks many times (i also own their first release). The song "Money & Sex" often reminds me of a Radiohead song from the album "OK Computer". It compares in quality to, "Paranoid Android" because of the way the song is arranged. "Land of Silent Thunder" is a unique track. It must have taken me a couple times listening to the song to realize there is never a snare drum struck throughout the entire track. The album amazed me by its sometimes obvious and sometimes hidden messages. I encourage you to find your way to this album as quick as you can.
