About
The "One" and "Only" "Jonnie_Rockit"
Jonnie_Rockit is delivering a rock and roll gut punch to the world straight off the streets of New York City. With heavy guitar hooks, gruff vocals, pummeling drums, and formidable bass, a taste of city grit lives in every note the band brings to the party.
Musical Entropies
The trio tackles themes of addiction, tragedy, and respect through cautionary tales, with a touch of mythology helping to give a dose of reality. Going off the rails can be fun, but if it goes too far, you may find yourself some demons to wrangle. From tragedy often
comes triumph, which gives the upbeat attitude to Jonnie Rockit’s brand of rock and roll, with stories of those who have been through it all, and made it out to tell the tale.
Who we are
NYC native Jonnie Rockit honed his chops on the local scene as a founding member of Panzie, playing guitar and writing music while learning the need for strength and humor to navigate and survive the mean city streets. Chicago-born John “Servo” DeSalvo planted his own NYC roots in the industrial realm, as a run with seminal machine rockers Chemlab led to international stints in the likes of KMFDM, 16Volt, BILE, and Daniel Ash, to name a few. Servo then made his way to the hard-rockin’ world of Panzie, where he and Jonnie formed a friendship and musical bond that was bound to carry them into the present day of jamming, writing, and creating something entirely new out of their Jersey City studio.
The driving force of Jonnie and Servo cinched the final piece of their power trio puzzle with Austin-based composer Kevin Jones. He first found his way to the NYC circuit performing with bands like Stretching Madness, glam-punk rockers J and the 9’s, and dark alternative metallers Vajra, where he and Servo fatefully met. The pair had found their unified rhythm and brought it to Panzie, which made Kevin the only natural choice to round out the present-day lineup of
Jonnie Rockit.
