"they combine the ferocious energy and unshakable grooves of Motown's best with Chicago's long-standing love of power-pop; think MC5 jamming with Cheap Trick, but at Ramones tempos. If that isn't a sign of life, I don't know what is." - Jim DeRogatis (SUN-TIMES)
"The band steps up their game and works hard to craft inventive new phrases that still evoke years past, but this time there's a distinctive stamp of the band's own personality on every riff. Jonny Rumble's time to rise above the scene's din just might have arrived. " - Chicagoist
"Let them beat you senseless with their music, or they'll beat you senseless with their music. Come on kiddies everyone is doing it so why not you? "Rock N' Roll is in our heads now." - Wassup Magazine
"Almost Dead," is written as a kind of death knell for the rock 'n' roll that members love, and whether you agree or not, they're going to play it loud. - Staten Island Live
"What most impresses, is that there is real substance to all of Jonny Rumble's material. Loud, direct, and angry, their music is filled with intelligent commentary." - WLUW 88.7
"In terms of style, there is one word that best describes the music of Jonny Rumble: Loud, thrash, angry, and straight to the point!
- I-Rock

Bio
In 2008, the boys of Jonny Rumble put their collective frustrations into Almost Dead, their third full-length release. In blasting an eloquent and full-throttled critique of our misguided modern social and political state, the album served up the bitter rebellion and social conscience of early punk culture with a wickedly melodic edge. It was a finger pointing, blame laying manifesto, according to vocalist/guitarist Brian Webb.
Now, after several well-received interim singles (not to mention a string of bad luck that included hurricanes, hazardous jobs, jail, stolen vans, burglaries, broken bones, busted teeth and severe burns), Jonny Rumble is back with the a new full-length titled JR, an explosive mix of power pop, garage rock and alt-country. The album features the monster single BRZRKR, the liltingly psychedelic Stumped and the beautiful piano and pedal steel-driven Time. Rounding out Jonny Rumbles line-up are Patrick OConnor (vocals, keys, guitar), Jeremy Pryor (vocals, bass) and Seth Thomas (vocals, drums). JR the album will be released on vinyl as a limited edition on June 15, 2010.
Rock Proper, an online music distributor/net label launched in 2009, will be the exclusive digital distributor of the album. You will be able to download the full record for FREE on June 15, 2010
