The Johnstones.. anyone who hasn't yet heard of them or listened to them should go and check them out:) They are an a-flipping-mazing ska/punk band from Ajax, Ontario, Canada. They are upbeat, energetic, their live shows are unbelievably fun, and they basically define what ska/punk is all about. Yet they still manage to have a completely unique sound, so different from all the other ska bands out there! Check out their site or their myspace, its worth the few seconds it will take!:)

I don't hear the "punk" in the group.

I think it sounds quite poppy with a not so poppy sounding vocalist.

the only johnstones song i remotely enjoy is "gone for a long time", and only until the "rapping" starts. so basically, just the chorus.

ha, I assumed as much.

I figured only someone in the band would put that much hype into it.

I don't thinks it's just a coincidence that i see threads almost 90% identical to this one on tons of other boards.

I hear this band is legitimately popular in Canada. Like not popular for ska, real popular.
