Johnny Hunter

Johnny Hunter is not a singular person. He’s certainly not living and breathing. Johnny Hunter is an idea. An Entity made from the energy and tastes of four friends that find themselves on similar wavelengths and trajectories.

Matching high energy musicality with stagemanship that charms a crowd with ease, the band is a beast all its own as a performance unit. Individualistic and unashamedly fearless in their delivery, Johnny Hunter revels in each quirk, dark twist of eyeliner, slick back of a mullet and moan of a vocal.

As a group, they offer up a mirror to the changing times we live in through their music. In 2018’s ‘One Of A Kind’, ‘1995’, ‘Cult Classic’, and then 2019’s ‘Ashamed’ and ‘Pain & Joy’, the band demonstrates a raw response to navigating a world that is becoming more unhinged than ever. An unapologetic love for fiery, gut-punching punk energy, as well as pop songwriting to break a heart forms the foundation of their body of work.

Their transgression was evident in 2020’s ‘Early Trauma’ EP, Australia’s The AU Review placed the debut EP as Number 9 on their Top 40 Album list, a testament to the band's work. With stand out track ‘Try As You May’ pinpointing the band's soundscape, it leans on it’s 80’s influences, The Cure, Depeche Mode and Nick Cave, whilst bringing the listener to the present.
