johnny turbo
rock 'n' roll | montréal, ca
Johnny Turbo est un trio rock and roll bilingue de Montréal, avec un show qui laisse peu de place pour rester les bras croisés.
Le groupe s’est formé en 2016 sous le nom Les Gaustises (aka the Ghosties), avant de devenir Johnny Turbo. Ils jouent un rock and roll fort et rapide, quelque part entre garage rock, punk et les classiques avec lesquels ils ont grandi.
Leur premier album, 1-800-Rock-and-Roll, est exactement ce que le titre laisse entendre : un album rock and roll qui ne se prend pas trop au sérieux. Après une dernière année à jouer un peu partout au Québec et en Ontario, ils retourneront en studio en octobre 2026 pour enregistrer leur deuxième album.
