Bang Bang Bang

Four months after Bang Bang Bang's big-bang formation in June 2005, 300 paying customers were coming to see them at a nightclub in their native city of Nashville, TN. A few months after that, they were winning over 15,000 appreciative rock and roll fans as the opening act for the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd. "By the end, we were high-fiving people in the audience," recalls lead singer and principal songwriter Jaren Johnston of the Skynyrd show. But that's just how things go for Bang Bang Bang, who create irresistible, infectious, greasy, sleazy Southern rock, spiked liberally with punk energy and pop songwriting smarts that rock fans have been drooling over. The industry has noticed too. Bang Bang Bang have quickly attracted and enlisted high-powered management, booking, publishing companies and ultimately a record deal with Warner Brothers.
