Johnny Dynamite is the solo alias of synth-centric singer/songwriter and producer John Morisi, though at times Dynamite is joined by his band “The Bloodsuckers”. Inspired by the illustrative work of his grandfather, acclaimed comic book artist, and Brooklyn native Pete Morisi, Dynamite took on the name of one of his most iconic characters, an anti-hero detective from the underworld; "Johnny Dynamite". Emerging in the mid-2010s as a staple of the Greater New York DIY basement scene, Dynamite eventually settled in Brooklyn himself. Laying down roots after years of touring, Dynamite has taken time to develop his mostly self-recorded craft through setting up small bedroom studios across the city (wherever he resides) as well as making a name for himself playing out with his band, establishing his love of rock n’ roll. *all color vinyl variants are hand-made and are subject to color and design variations from the product image shown.

"Rippling synth stylings and glistening melodies propel the song upwards into a dreamlike haze, recalling the best of synth-pop legends like Pet Shop Boys and contemporaries like M83." - Under The Radar Mag

"Evoking the vocal sensuality of INXS and The Cure, with the synth stylings of Pet Shop Boys, and the passion of Simple Minds, one can also hear similarities with more contemporary acts like M83 and MGMT [...] Dynamite shines as a storyteller as a frontman, lyricist, and vocalist; his moody and angst-filled vocal delivery and lyricism showcase a complex, introspective observer caught in the afterglow of it all" - Post-Punk.com

"he comes in with this super catchy, anthemic chorus that demands another repeat (and another). The instrumentals are not to be ignored either. The Bloodsuckers complete the pairing with warm, sugary sweet guitar and all the right bass grooves." - Earmilk
