Who Killed Nancy Johnson? / Band
WHO KILLED NANCY JOHNSON are a Reading-based high-energy punk/post-punk band, and an incendiary live act. Formed in 2015 their influences range from early British art punk (Wire, Magazine, Gang of Four, Killing Joke) to later US bands like Black Flag, Fugazi and the Adolescents, right up to current acts like No Problem and Idles.
Since 2016 the band has gigged at multiple venues in Reading, Basingstoke, Oxford, Guildford, High Wycombe, Kingston, London, Brighton, Chatham, Southampton, St Albans, Colchester, Evesham, Worthing and Cirencester, releasing their first EP, Cops and Robbers, in January 2017.
In late 2017 WKNJ made their first visit outside the UK with a couple of dates in Milan, and played a set for BBC Introducing LIVE.
In 2018 they toured France, released their second EP, Flat Earth Theory, followed by an eponymous full-length CD-only album that collected all their recorded work so far, including remixes and material not released elsewhere. This was followed in September with the release of a single for Musicians Against Homelessness, They Reap.
In 2019 the band released a cassette and download EP, They Reap Sessions, a split 12" EP on Sounds of the Suburbs Records, and the Punish the Poor/Clown mini-EP on cassette and download.
A brand new album, I See Six, is currently in production for release later in 2020.
