Jonny’s Day Out is the result of many years of friendship centered around the inescapable love of creating. You’ll find a sense of ridiculousness in just about everything the PDX rock band does, from the lyrics and sounds that bubble up in their songs to the band name itself. Indie rock and bombastic energy is at the core of the music they make, but roots in folk, jazz and classical work their way into about everything they do. The group almost ended last year and reckoning with their act’s mortality provided the necessary impetus to focus and streamline their sound. The result is a tighter and more intentional project. “JDO” their self-titled debut album is a culmination of all those years of trying to make rock music.
