Keeping Some Dark Secrets

As the self-appointed biggest fan of Johnny Foreigner in all of the 50 United States, we were double-plus chuffed to see that the act was Forkcasted here Thursday. We’re a little perplexed by Mr. Knight’s assessment that the band has some sort of affinity for late, lamented D.C. indie rockers The Dismemberment Plan. Not that they do or don’t. It just seems like a random band to name check. If you are saying a certain act sounds strongly influenced by American bands from the ’90s, wouldn’t you then use examples whose music sort of sounds like the band you are talking about? No matter. We’re pleased to see the Birmingham trio name-checked in the de facto top U.S. music publication. As we reported here earlier in the month, Johnny Foreigner recently signed to the British label Best Before Records and will release its debut EP on some date in November.
