About the artist

The Johnstons

JOHNSTONSin is a tantalizing enigma wrapped in a riddle, splashed with a healthy dose of neon paint. This artist, whose real name remains shrouded in mystery, burst onto the music scene like a hurricane made of glitter and guitars. Hailing from the underground music scene in East London, JOHNSTONSin's sound is a fusion of electro-pop, punk rock, and a sprinkle of pure madness. With his signature kaleidoscopic visuals and infectious energy, JOHNSTONSin has quickly become a cult favorite among music lovers who crave something a little off-kilter. His live shows are a whirlwind of chaos and ecstasy, with JOHNSTONSin prowling the stage like a crazed animal let loose from its cage. It's a spectacle not to be missed, as you never know what might happen next - he might drop a new beat, climb the rafters, or simply disappear into a cloud of smoke and strobe lights. But don't let the theatricality fool you - JOHNSTONSin is a serious musician with a sharp ear for hooks and a knack for crafting unforgettable melodies. His latest album, "Neon Nightmare," is a rollercoaster ride through the depths of his twisted imagination, with tracks that will stay with you long after the music stops. From the sugar-coated sweetness of "Candyland Queen" to the dark, pulsating beats of "Midnight Madness," JOHNSTONSin's music is a journey into the heart of the party, where the only rule is to let go and dance like there's no tomorrow. In a sea of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured bands, JOHNSTONSin is a breath of fresh air - a true original who dares to be different in a world that demands conformity. Keep an eye on this rising star, because who knows where his neon-soaked madness will take us next.
