EP Review: Johnny Kills – Panic EP

In your early 20s and don’t have a clue what’s going on? Here’s the EP for you.

London/Brighton trio Johnny Kills have released their anxiously fun debut EP Panic. If you’re a fan of surf garage rock bands such as FIDLAR, you need to get these guys on your radar. Johnny Kills write scuzzy pop garage guitar music that you can’t help but love.

Panic tackles the anxiety most of us have or will face in your early 20s – identity, relationships, jobs etc. But the brilliance lies in the pop hooks and the fun and energetic approach Johnny Kills take to these issues in the music that make you pay attention. They are playful yet write about what we all must deal with when going into adulthood. It’s a ball ache, and Johnny Kills know that. 

With Panic, Johnny Kills offer a reassuring to everyone that can’t help but grab onto.
