Formed through a general distaste and disillusionment with the current music scene, Sweet Jonny hail from a do-nothing town in the middle of nowhere. A gutter garage rock band - fervent, desperate and violently energetic. A torrent of noise, sweat and more often than not, our own blood. Think the Pixies on speed or the Cramps if they were denied it.
