The Dutch band Johan was founded in 1990, at that time named Visions of Johanna, inspired by the Bob Dylan song. They shortened it to Johan in 1996. That same year their self-titled debut album was released. They kept fans waiting five years for the follow-up 'Pergola'. Now, another five years later number three 'THX JHN' is released.
Johan plays Beatlesque melodic guitar-pop which, despite of the sometimes dark lyrics of singer Jacco de Greeuw, sounds bright and sunny.
