- About Me:
- John Wilkes Booth has just completed their first full length release Sic Semper Tyrannis. Booth fans, whose numbers are ever increasing, have eagerly been awaiting the fulfillment of promises for new tracks from the latest recording sessions. They will not be disappointed. Since the formation of the band in 2005, the band has consistently recorded and played live shows while continually escalating their fan base.
With a sound "that draws largely from punk and stoner rock with just a small smattering of metal" this eclectic quartet deems their brand of sinewy rhythms and bong fueled jams "Dirt Rock." In 2006, John Wilkes Booth released a self titled EP. The tracks "The Inner Workings" & "Only the Facts" were featured on the Compilation "Fumes from a Dead Scene" in 2007. Both received praises from fans as well as critics.
John Wilkes Booth abides by a strict "no-pay-to-play" policy, refusing to financially compensate venues in order to be added to the bill. The band’s popularity has featured the foursome playing shows along the east coast with such national acts as The Hidden Hand, La Otracina, Zoroaster, Puny Human, Solace, Wooly Mammoth, and Wrecketh. The NY Speed Coalition reviewed the Booth show at Bar 131 and stated, "The dirt rock assassins played an absolutely flawless set of bone shattering, ground shaking hard rock."
In May of 2008, Aural Fix, a Long Island magazine covering the local music scene, featured the band on the front cover. In 2007, John Wilkes Booth was chosen as a featured band on Fatcat Radio as well as selected as band of the week for Joe's Podhole. In June of that year, they were voted by listeners as band of the month on local radio station, Radiox. Podcasts and word of mouth have turned on audiences across America and the world.

Music Emissions Review
The onesheet that came with the brand spanking new John Wilkes Booth album Sic Semper Tyrannis was bang on. It stated that this Long Island based foursome mixed punk and stoner rock with a small smattering of metal. I couldn't have said it better. I've heard rumblings of this album for quite sometime (not as long as Chinese Democracy) but it is only now that this thick album surfaces. John Wilkes Booth has been around since 2005, releasing a self-titled EP in 2006 that got fans salivating for th… Continue

Persistence gets my attention eventually and suffice it to say after being contacted a few times by vocalist Kerry Merkle of the grime punk band John Wilkes Booth, The Metal Minute happily accepted a copy of his band's remarkably solid full-length debut Sic Semper Tyrannis.
