Johnny Foreigner - You Thought You Saw a Shooting Star...

(...But Yr Eyes Were Blurred With Tears And That Lighthouse Can Be Pretty Deceiving With The Sky So Clear And Sea So Calm) “If you’ re looking for a new logo to scribble on your English folder or a tune to hum while walking home alone after a night out, you’ re in safe hands with Johnny Foreigner." - NME. Spit n’ polish-fresh and full of the poppy excitement usually reserved for big-eared puppies, UK indie rock champs Johnny Foreigner return with a brand new 6 track EP – ready to powerfully smash, then tenderly caress your ears. Hailing from the second city with an impressive back catalog and a sweat drenched devoted fanbase, JoFo have teamed up with lovable indie label Alcopop to showcase their ravenous appetite for razor-sharp hooks, luscious melody and succulently raucous/gentle indie pop heroics. Previously splashed across every right-thinking indie magazine (including an Artrocker cover for their last full length) and sharing tours with the likes of Dananananaykroyd, Los Campesinos!, The Futureheads, The Subways and Sky Larkin – Johnny Foreigner probably need no introduction; but this is not just business as usual, with Alexei Berrow, Kelly Southern and Junior Elvis Washington Laidley busy exploring new sounds on some of these tracks whilst still keeping faithful to that signature JoFo ethos. Reviews across the board in all major rock/ indie magazines. Major features with Rocksound, Big Cheese, Artrocker.
