+ Limited Edition vinyl available now
+ Launching the album in full – Sunday evening 27th April at The Gum Ball Festival (20th Anniversary Edition)
Johnston City is the dream band of Dashville native Daniel T Johnston, and a star-studded assemblage of fellow travellers who collaborate and deliver his classic rock’n’roll bangers with something bordering on telepathy.
JC have been slowly but surely building a cult following with their anthemic, sweetly swaying yet classically muscular sound that owes as much to the subtleties of vocal doo-wop groups of the ‘60s as it does to the sledgehammer barn-burners of Springsteen and Seger. The measure of an original band is how they can hook a new crowd with that familiar warm and fuzzy feeling, even though they are hearing the tunes for the first time.
Johnston City have that feelgood juice by the bucketload. Their long-awaited debut long player, ‘Decie’s Pride’, is in the bag after a magical sojourn at Grove Studios with the extended family – under the cosmic ears of producer Adam Young and engineer Damien Charles.

The album is set to be officially released on all streaming platforms & on vinyl / CD in August 2025.
As a treat, Johnston City are offering fans the chance to get in early to purchase the vinyl and be in the running to receive 1 of 20 hand pressed limited edition records. The unique records will be packaged and sent out randomly to the lucky recipient – “a bit like Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket”. Vinyl can be purchased now at Suitcase Records, or at The Gum Ball Festival (Wonnarua Country / Hunter Valley) over the Anzac Day long weekend where the band will perform the album in full.
