Multi-instrumentalist & award-winning London born (Raised in Australia) songwriter John E Vistic plays a unique brand of punk, rock n roll & alt country,\u00a0described as \u2018filthy\u2019 by Damien Sayell of\u00a0Mclusky<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0St.Pierre Snake Invasion<\/strong>. Musical influences include The\u00a0Jesus & Mary Chain<\/strong>,\u00a0Marky Ramone<\/strong>,\u00a0Jesus Lizard, Cramps, Stooges,\u00a0Bauhaus<\/strong>,\u00a0The Birthday Party<\/strong>,\u00a0Sisters of Mercy<\/strong>,\u00a0PIL<\/strong>,\u00a0The Cosmic Psychos<\/strong>, as well as contemporary acts\u00a0Idles<\/strong>,\u00a0Metz<\/strong>\u00a0&\u00a0Fontaines DC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thats quite the resume from mr Vistic and when the needle drops on the opening track you’re entering a world of DIY punk with thoughtful lyrics and a one-man army of sonic goodness. ‘Crime & Punishment’ is a very punchy intro to this EP and very enjoyable with its mid paced fuzzed out rock n roll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t get to comfortable because the troublesome bruiser ‘Gunz Germz and Steal’ is out of the traps like a hybrid of PIL and Killing Joke at their brutal best. Its got a air of menace not a million miles from earl yJAnes Addiction when they meant something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
