MP3 Jonny Polonsky - There Is Something Wrong With You
6 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Modern Rock, POP: Power Pop
Details:
"I get a lot of tapes, but these tapes were different. They were incredible, totally rockin'' stuff. This guy was born to be a rock star and he creates the music to back it up. He is amazing."
- Frank Black (the Pixies)
DoubleTake: ...have you ever heard of a guy named Jonny Polonsky?
Jeff Buckley: Oh yeah sure, the amazing Jonny Polonsky. Yeah. He came to CBGB''s Gallery and ripped it up.
DT: It was a good show?
JB: He killed ''em.
DT: ...His songs, they''re kind of derivative of stuff he likes -- the Kinks, the Beatles...
JB: Well, on the outset, and then the charm of it is that he''s brought it into his own thing. It''s a nice miniature. He does it with soul; you can tell the difference between someone who just slips into the Beatles or something and someone like him.
- Jeff Buckley (from DoubleTake Magazine)
Jonny Polonsky is, without a doubt, one of America''s most talented rock singer/songwriters, accent on the rock. His American debut, Hi My Name is Jonny, was one of the most critically acclaimed LPs of the last ten years of the 20th century, and his new EP is even better!
- Virtually Alternative
"Not much wrong with the Wilmette native''s EP of power-pop goodness, perfect for a (16-minute) beachfront drive".
- Chicago Sun Times
"Pop music as simply catchy and infectious as that of Polonsky''s heroes The Beatles and The Monkees."
- NY Times
"Simply put, Polonsky is the freshest pop star to emerge since Matthew Sweet."
- Philadelphia Express
"The kind of dazzling pure pop music that will remind listeners of those magnificent Liverpudlians, John Lennon and Elvis Costello. Don''t guffaw. I''m telling you folks, he''s that good."
- Raygun
"The songs on this debut effort are smartly crafted nuggets of nascent power pop wisdom. The kid is all right."
- Hits
"I have seen the future of Rock n Roll, and his name is Jonny Polonsky"
- Strobe
Never, ever, have I been in such a state. Jonny Polonsky is, without question, God. His songs reduced me to tears, laughter and joy.
- Revolutions
Jonny Polonsky somehow has slipped through the cracks of both the mainstream market and the indie world, and that''s very difficult for me to digest... His singing whine is probably the most infectious I''ve heard, and his simple lyrics beg for you to sing along... Imagine Kurt Cobain drug-free, singing quaint pop songs before he fried his voice screaming and you''ll get Polonsky''s voice. His refreshing rock pop melodies are simple enough to appeal to the masses, but edgy enough to keep him in the underground music scene. Although his music is straight forward, and quite simple, it''s performed in a very charismatic way that''s difficult to explain.

"Jonny Polonsky writes exactly the kind of genreless songs that are likely to never sound out of date. They''re not trying to be anything but hooky rock songs, with an admirable lack of posing, that crawlunder your skin and stay there.
- Emma Johnston, Kerrang!
