TOP JOHNNY! RELEASES "Kick It!" A GENRE-BUSTING CD FUSING
ROCK AND CLUB MUSIC IN A HIGH INTENSITY PARTY MUSIC MELTDOWN!
CLASSIC ROCK, RAP, DANCE, BLUES, METAL AND THRASH ARE ALL REPRESENTED
IN THIS ROCK/DANCE ERUPTION!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MONTREAL, Quebec Canada. October 3, 2005. - TOP JOHNNY! a Montreal-based
all-original high intensity show band is proud to announce the release
of its debut album “Kick It!”. Produced by StarBrite
Productions of Montreal, distributed by Indie Pool and available
at HMV and HMV.com, the seven scorching cuts on this genre-busting
CD blending Rock, Dance & House music represent the creative
talents of TJ Star, the project’s principle songwriter, lead
singer, guitarist, co-producer and band leader. “This is the
project I’ve always wanted to create and this album represents
a new beginning for me, bringing together many of my early influences
as a musician.” says TJ Star, “If you took KISS, C&C
Music Factory, Metallica and Public Enemy and put them all in a
blender, TOP JOHNNY! is what you’d get!”
TOP JOHNNY!‘s immense sound is forged from a wall of Dance
beats, techno-style synthesizers, catchy vocal hooks and searing
Rock guitar riffs. Fusing a unique blend of Rock, Dance and Techno
music with multimedia and stylishly costumed live performers, TOP
JOHNNY! is also positioning itself as a crossover pioneer in the
Club/Dance music market, releasing many of its songs in two formats;
a “Rock” and a “TJ!’s ClubHouse” version
aimed at the DJ, dance and after-hours club markets.
The band also released a music performance video of their album
title song “Kick It!’ and constructed a custom multimedia
web site where additional TJ’s ClubHouse remixes can be heard
the site is best viewed at 1024 X 768 screen resolution)
The band will be launching in November with a series of Montreal
area shows starting November 10th at Café Campus. “We’ll
be playing club dates, but with four major universities in Montreal,
we’d be crazy not to canvas the campuses too!” jokes
TJ Star. “We promise a non-stop hi-intensity dance/rock explosion!”
“I love to rock out!”, says TJ Star “ but I also
need a great beat! For me, the beat drives everything and if you’ve
got an irresistible groove, you’re more than halfway there.
On the other hand the guitars in my music are all about rebellion
and excitement! I’ll never grow tired of a good riff or catchy
hook that latches on and pulls you in. But the bottom line,”
says TJ Star, “is really about the show! If people are going
to shell out their hard-earned coin for a concert ticket you’d
better deliver ‘cause nothin’ spreads faster than word
of a boring show……except maybe a mind-blowing one! I
know which end of the spectrum I want to be on.”
"We also believe in giving something back to the world."
says TJ Star. "That's why early on, my partner Mr. Positive(+)
and I made the decision to contribute 10% of our CD, concert ticket
and merchandizing sales revenues to the Planet Alert! Foundation,
a non-profit organization set up to distribute those funds to local
and globally recognized projects having the best chance of achieving
lasting solutions to our planet's ecological and humanitarian challenges."
"I guess in a way, we can say we're saving the planet......one
show at a time!" adds Mr. Positive(+).
