About
Johnny trash.

Born from the gritty punk-rock reinterpretations of Johnny Cash, Johnny Trash has officially broken the mold. Now a fully realized original outfit, the Vancouver based band blends high-energy punk roots with melodic rock influences to create a sound that is as dance-worthy as it is aggressive. Their new album, "Belly of the Beast" is a loud, unapologetic anthem for the modern underdog.


Formed in 2018, the band was recreated in 2023 

with founder members Joe (Ireland), DK (Wales), and

new members Goose (Ottawa) and PhilGood (Montréal). 

You can expect bouncing bass lines, improvisational and dynamic drum beats, fast tempo twangy guitars and a

gruff and tough vocal delivery that will please both vaqueros and punk rockers alike.

Absolute Underground Album Review

Catchy catchy songs, creative dynamics and chorus after chorus make this Vancouver band

a must see live act to be reckoned with, an album worth your hard earned bux for sure.  (...)

Johnny Trash is multi-talented with great vocals, collaboratively layered hooks and strong production. Each member shines through adding depth and charisma kicking in the oomph and the girth to thicken this into a very viable band and sound. Let’s say pro and ass kicking just so you get the point. The guitar solos are ripping good.


Belly of the Beast is loud and unapologetic, it’s the new soundtrack for fun and energy at parties and live events in whatever city or town you are in. Song after song of true catchy anthems made for the modern underdogs. Like I said, give it a few listens and I guarantee you’ll agree. Great band, great dynamics and kick ass songs. 

Every band member delivers talent and obvious dedication.

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.
