Johnny Dioxide: “Red Turtle”

By: Jack Anderson

Originally from Grayslake, Illinois, singer-guitarist Chase Risinger has been writing since the tender age of thirteen, when lyrical inspiration could be found in the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean. Fast forward to 2013 when Risinger loaded his truck up and moved to Austin, where he’s since found a footing with several bands, most notably with The Pendulum Hearts and with his own Ghost Rock Radio under the moniker Johnny Dioxide.

Their unique placement of feminine falsettos over seductive, sample-and-synth-heavy soundscapes still inspires acts today, not just in the […]

So before touching down to the terrestrial for the weekend, let’s heed a far out beacon from Dallas duo Beekeeper Spaceman. The skeleton crew consists of guitarist-singer-songwriter Greg Brownderville and producer/multi-instrumentalist Spencer Kenney, who named themselves after […]
