JOHN - der praktisch ungooglebare Spitzname für das Londoner Duo John Newton (Schlagzeug, Leadgesang) und Johnny Healey (Gitarre, Backing Vocals) - teilen einen neuen Vorgeschmack auf ihr kommendes drittes Album Nocturnal Manoeuvres, bevor es am 8. Oktober über das bandeigene Pets Care-Imprint und Brace Yourself Records veröffentlicht wird. Die dritte Single aus dem Album kommt im Gewand ihres überragenden Closers "Non-Essential Hymn", das allmählich aus dem treibenden Post-Hardcore der Band zu einem autobahntauglichen Finale aufblüht, das von Newtons treibenden Drums und Healeys Sonic Youth-artigen Gitarrenhelden zu einem Ort purer Hypnose angetrieben wird.

Aufgrund der aktuellen Lage muss die JOHN Show in Berlin abgesagt werden. Tickets können an den jeweiligen VVK-Stellen zurückgegeben werden! Hier das offizielle Statement der Band: "With the dates just over a month away, we’ve simply had to make the decision that both of us really didn’t want to make - to cancel the EU tour we had planned for March/Early April 2022. It was one of things we were most looking forward to - having not been able to catch up with many cities/countries since 2018. Sadly, the uncertainties of the present mean that we can’t know whether we can play the shows or know how we can travel through multiple territories all with separate regulations. Music is a delicate ecosystem, we send our thanks to all the promoters who have already spent time, energy and money on these shows, our wonderful agent and our sound engineer... and of course anyone who purchased a ticket to see us. We are currently looking at opportunities to head back across the water as soon as possible, but for now we’ll continue to work on new music whilst supporting ‘Nocturnal Manoeuvres’ from a distance. All our best JOHN"
