biographical info
Originally conceived as a side project, Johnny Action Figure has mutated into something bigger than any of the members could have imagined. The band is hopes to release their EP, yet to be titled, which promises to offer the listener a sonic sampling of all the diverse influences that Johnny Action Figure has to offer.
Based in Victoria, British Columbia on the left-most coast in Canada, the band has climbed up from obscurity and into an ever growing spotlight. Their song, "Waking Up", has been getting regular radio play up and down the coast, and their live shows are bordering on legendary. JAF has created a sound that hints at all their influences; Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Weezer to name a few, but has a sound that is completely their own. This sound, combined with an entrancing live presence has garnered fans from around North America and beyond, and awarded the band critical acclaim from their peers and friends in the industry.
