Johnny One Eye - Dirty (2015)

Forget Route 66! Follow the A131 from Braintree to Haverhill, through the wild borderlands of Essex and Suffolk, where the band originate. Emerging from the badlands, a trio of musicians recreating the American blues-rock sound with a twenty first century twist.

Johnny One Eye is a three piece group consisting of; Mark Oneye (lead/rhythm guitar and lead vocals), Stuart Oneye (bass guitar, keyboards and backing vocals), John Oneye (drums, percussion, mandolin and backing vocals).
An all original band playing their own brand of American blues-rock music in the vein of Creedence, Springsteen, Black Keys and Steve Earle. Bringing you a new, unique and yet authentic taste of the greatest blues-rock the world has ever heard, an unstoppable rail-road train of rhythm. A commentary on the state of the world, as valid now as it was back then.

All three members contribute to the song writing process, bringing their varied musical backgrounds and influence to bear on the finished tracks. This is evident in the riff based driving rhythms and free flowing interplay between the elements of the band. The music is loosely based on the seventies style of American Rhythm and Blues, updated for the life and times of the twenty first century.

Three of the bands original songs feature on 'Johnny One Eye', the debut EP, followed later that year by their debut album, titled 'Legend Of The Fall' released in March 2013.

The band will be recording the follow up album, to be ready for release later this year (2015). This second release, will contain ten new songs.

The band itself is named after an old American folk hero, 'Johnny One Eye', an outlaw renegade. However, for us, Johnny is no freedom fighter, he is a badder, meaner and all round nastier character. Everything that lurks in the dark corners of everyones imagination. He turns up at all the worst moments in your life. If you think it couldn't get any worse, then Johnny ain't turned up yet! He crops up from time to time in the music, usually as a harbinger of doom and all things generally bad. Where Johnny walks, trouble ain't far behind...
