Jonny Craig (born March 26, 1986) is a musician praised for his visceral/emotionally gripping style and creative expansion of the hardcore genre. Though he was born in Minot, North Dakota, US he spent much of his childhood in the Pacific Northwest (particularly in Washington State and Abbotsford, British Columbia).

He has not only proven himself to be one of the most prolific and enigmatic figures in the Pacific Northwest, but has also done so within the current post-hardcore community. Listening to Craig’s music, it might come as a surprise to what his formative influences are. In his childhood he received a great deal of inspiration from his grandmother, who acted as a member of the church choir. From his mother he was introduced to blue-eyed-soul artists such as Michael Bolton and a variety of Christian artists. Craig later progressed on to emo pop acts like New Found Glory and even R&B megastars like Boyz II Men. However if there is to be one influence that best represents Craig’s ethos and sound, a probabilistic answer might be the experimental punk outlet mewithoutYou.

After auditioning for several band’s in high school Craig finally landed a position as the lead singer of the Tacoma based garage band westerHalts. The group formed in 2000 and released their first song “Change, Leisure and Retirement” in 2001. The band was never treated with much integrity and after it’s demise Craig joined the melodic punk group Ghost Runner on Third. This group disbanded as well, allegedly due to drug problems emanating amongst it’s members. Craig’s struggle with drug addiction is also stated as the reason for his leaving the groups Emarosa and Dance Gavin Dance. He acted as the frontman for Dance Gavin Dance from 2005-2007 and 2010-2012 and headed Emarosa from 2007-2011. With these acts he released multiple albums, several which broke into the Billboard Top 200.

In 2008 Craig went on to form the group Isles & Glaciers with Chiodos’ lead vocalist Craig Owens. The band released only one EP “The Hearts of Lonely People” before disbanding; however, it received ecstatic reviews and entered the Billboard 200 at No. 104 and the Billboard Top Heatseekers at No. 1.

In between these various bands, Craig released several solo efforts, his first being “A Dream Is A Question You Don’t Know How To Answer”. The album was released through Rise Records on 18 August 2009, making him the first solo artist to join the label. He supported the album with a tour opening for AFI and Cinematic Sunrise. Several months later he was headlining a tour of his own receiving support from Tides of Man, Eye Alaska, and Sleeping with Sirens.

Following his studio debut, Craig put out “Live at Bamboozle 2010” and subsequently released his 2013 EP “Find What You Love and Let It Kill You”. In-between these two albums four of Craig’s demo tracks received an unauthorized release.

In 2014 Craig started yet another band, Slaves. In addition to Craig, the group consists of Alex Lyman and Christopher Kim from Hearts & Hands, as well as Tai Wright from Four Letter Lie. Their debut album “Through Art We Are All Equals” was released on 24 June 2012 and featured contributions from Issues’ Tyler Carter and Pierce the Veil’s Vic Fuentes.

Live reviews

Battling more demons than most, Jonny Craig has infused his past into his music creating truly soulful and meaningful pieces of work. Known from his previous musical projects Emarosa and Dance Gavin Dance, Craig steers away from post-hardcore and sees him embrace a more acoustic / r &b style. Surrounded by controversy and his battle with addiction provided him with material which was honest and raw, rife with personal experiences. As well as his incredible gospel infused vocal capabilities, the lyrics featured on his debut album “A Dream Is A Question You Don’t Know How To Answer” (2009) are full of anguish as he lays down his heart and soul. It’s no surprise then that Craig captivates live audiences, with a simple stage set up of a synth pad, percussion, bass and a backing track, his voice soars above the accompaniment. Behind him are the letters J & C in white lights and with the dim lighting makes it a spectacular sight. “The Open Letter” is full of raw emotion and soul, Craig embraces the crowd as he heads to the front of the stage. With his eyes closed, hand on his chest, his impeccable vocals resonate through the crowd as they feel every word. When he plays “7 am, 2 Bottles and the Wrong Road” the passionate and screaming fans throwing their arms back and forth. ‘I’m only getting better, I’m only getting clean’ sings Craig in “The Party and the Dream”.

A lot of artists say they’re nothing without their fans, but in all honesty Craig probably means it more than most. You can tell he’s adored by the fans as they shout “WE LOVE YOU!” and through the controversy have stuck by him and supported him and you can see that he is genuinely grateful. Breaking the show into an acoustic section, Craig dedicates “Rhythm to My Soul” to the fans stating that he’d been substance clean for year and a half with thanks to the fans encouraging him to keep writing and playing music. Demanding complete silence before he sings “A Toast to the Future Kids!” an Emarosa song, to which the crowd go wild singing the lyrics back to him.

The great thing about Jonny Craig is his honesty regarding his past and his journey, but you don’t look at where he’s been but at how far he’s come and where he’s going. They say that music is healer, and in Craig’s instance it certainly is.

Report as inappropriate

American-Canadian recording artist Jonny Craig manages to separate his time recording and releasing solo music with his duties of fronting his post-hardcore band Slaves. Despite all of these existing commitments, he regularly heads out onto the road to his cult like fanbase. Although his solo shows are not quite as extreme as the band's tours, the audiences engage and interact with an equal level of intent.

The man himself steps out in a modest manner to the expected applause. His soulful vocal paired with the hardcore outer layer of the music leads to an overall entrancing, crushing and honest performance. The musician has suffered with issues with drugs and addiction throughout his career and he talks openly about his past which makes tracks such as '7 AM, 2 Bottles and the Wrong Road' seem all the more heavy. The songwriting experience must have been incredibly cathartic for tonight's setlist and this is reflected in the finale as Jonny looks partly exhausted, partly exhilarated.

Such a brilliant night! Sea foals to open mellow yet a good sing along to covers everyone knew! Kyle lucas blew my mind he was incredible and a really nice guy! And jonny himself well with a voice of an angel theres just no faulting his talent and also a very nice guy dispite what people say all acts took the time to hang out by merch and chill with the fans taking pictures and the lot amazing night!

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
