Evan Johns & His H-Bombs were a roots band starring one of the genre's rowdiest guitar heroes. Johns and his band played rough and tumble rock & roll that drew on rockabilly, country, blues, R&B, surf music, and garage rock, attacked with gritty energy that boosted the impact of his fleet-fingered soloing. Johns was a versatile player who could work with collaborators as diverse as "Redneck Jazz" guitarist Danny Gatton and Dead Kennedys' vocalist Jello Biafra. On his 1986 debut with the H-Bombs, Rollin' Through the Night, he staked out a free-spirited sound that was suitable for crowded honky tonks on a rowdy Saturday night. Late career solo efforts like 2013's Panoramic Life and 2014's Somewhere Over the Skyline were more subdued, leaning more toward twang than rock & roll, though the raunchy growl of his voice and his hot rod guitar licks lived up to his legend.
