About
Johnny trash.

Johnny Trash is a Vancouver based, country laced punk band formed in 2018. Johnny Trash takes the classics from the Man in Black and injects a punk flavor, delivering a twang and bang to wherever they perform. You can expect bouncing bass lines, fast tempo twangy guitars and a gruff and tough vocal delivery that will please both cowboys and

punk rockers alike.


After few years gigging in Vancouver, the

band was recreated in 2023 with Joe (Ireland),

DK (Wales) and new members

Goose (Ottawa) and Philgood (Montreal). 

 Drawing influence from Punk, Progressive, Jazz

and whatever the fuck it is you like listening to... 

The next incarnation of Johnny Trash will be recorded soon with new originals. The punk tribute to the Man in Black remains, but the musical chemistry between the band members has to be discovered through their latest creations in 2025!

Vancouver's punk-inspired Johnny Cash group @johnny__trash

Hearing the Johnny Cash songs I grew up listening being flipped on their head and

set ablaze with punk influences was truly an enlightening experience.

Not only do they have the best cover band name I've ever heard, but what makes them stand out is

they are not derivative. So many cover bands will just repeat the formula without attempting to try anything new, but Johnny Trash truly add their own flair to some of Johnny Cashes classics,

to the point i really wouldn't ever consider them a cover band.


From the throbbing bass lines with a turn-up tempo to the vocalist's more aggressive raw  belting style, and

lead guitarist who absolutely shreds. They mold Cash's songs to where they don't just draw over Johnny Cash's style trying to replicate it, but use it as a foundation to help build something new. 

 I was blown away & look forward to seeing them again.
