Sydney based rock ‘n roll crew The Knowgoods are today unveiling their brand new single ‘Hey Johnny’, masterfully crafted sing-a-long indie rock gem of a track.

A straight up no nonsense modern classic ‘Hey Johnny’ was made written and band retreated to the misty mountains of Jamberoo with Ryan K Brennan (Phantastic Ferniture, Borneo, Georgia Mulligan) to produce their latest batch of material. The lush landscapes and curious wildlife proved to be inspirational catalyst for the band’s creativity.

The killer single sees the band pay homage to classic Australian rock bands like The Angels and The Saints, and counterpoints their inherent classic rock ‘n roll sensibilities with a blend of rich harmonies and layered instrumentation.

Recorded in Jamberoo Mountain by Ryan K Brennan (Phantastic Ferniture, Borneo, Georgia Mulligan) and mastered by Andrew Edgson at Studios 301, ‘Hey Johnny’ is the first of five tracks set to be released by the band in this year.

The band will be supportting Good Counsel for their ‘Grocery Bags’ single launch at Newtown Social Club on 17th June, presented Vivid Live. For more info on the band and upcoming releases pop by The Knowgoods’ Facebook page for more info.
