Johnny Hunter

Emerging from the ashes of Sydney's cultural decline, Johnny Hunter burst onto the underground scene haunting local pubs with their potent blend of obscure cabaret, post-punk, and raw poetry. Their rise was swift, earning cult status in Sydney and selling out venues across the East Coast of Australia and whilst also being voted Best On Ground at Big Sound by Double J. Johnny Hunter have also supported the likes of Jack White and The Saboteurs, The Psychedelic Furs, Kirin J Callinan, City Calmdown, Press Club, Polish Club and Joyride as well as playing festivals such as Yours & Owls, Bad Friday, Festival of the Sun, Mountain Sounds and Secret Garden (where they famously left the PA in flames).  Despite the pandemic halting live performances, Johnny Hunter's debut EP ‘Early Trauma’ was met with critical acclaim in 2020, leading to a signing with Cooking Vinyl Australia before ever hitting the stage. Their debut album ‘Want’ produced by Jack Moffit (The Preatures) and mixed by Adam Greenspan (IDLES, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) , continued their success, earning praise from notable publications like NME, Clash, and Louder Than War. Fast forward to 2024, and Johnny Hunter (now signed with Hell Beach/Onelove Records and International Talent Booking in the UK alongside heavyweights like Editors and Biffy Clyro) have relocated to the UK with a fresh lineup and they're gearing up for global domination.
