Johnny Panic - 'Burn Your Youth' (Concept)
3/5
By: Lauren Gallagher
Ask anyone if this is Yank or limey, and as long as they're not suffering from an acute bout of severe deafness that day, they'll choose the former - despite the fact that Johnny Panic hails from South East London. Uh-oh; someone's been listening to a bit of the Jimmy Eat World, a touch more of the Yellowcard...
So this pop-punk rattler is nothing but persistent, and will have any and every teeny-bopper who likes tight drumming and 'oh-way-oh' sing-a-long choruses pogo-ing 'til they drop dead. It's catchy, it's fun, but naggingly predictable, and although earnest, doesn't earn any points on the originality score. The vision is there; if Johnny Panic starts thinking out of the box, we'll be in business.
