Damon Johnson – New Single “Talk Yourself Into Anything”

Following the critically acclaimed release of “Battle Lessons,” earlier this year, Damon Johnson and The Get Ready are thrilled to announce their UK tour with Buckcherry this November/December.

Damon Johnson comments: “Oh hell yes! We could not be more thrilled to support our friends in Buckcherry on their 2021 UK tour. It’s an honour for me to return to British stages for the first time since my final run with Black Star Riders in 2018, and I’m so proud to debut The Get Ready on these tour dates. We can’t wait!”

In addition, the band is also launching their new single “Talk Yourself Into Anything”, taken from “Battle Lessons”. The track is accompanied by an exclusive video featuring a cameo by the band’s legendary producer, Nick Raskulinecz.

“Battle Lessons” is a stunning collection of nine original songs: from the insanely infectious melodies of album opener and first single “Battle Lessons”, to the groove riffing of “Shadow Country”; from the driving chorus of “Brace For Impact”, to the beautiful acoustic “Love Is All You Left Behind”, this is an album infused with melody and emotion.

Written and recorded throughout 2020, the album was produced and mixed by Nick Raskulinecz(Foo Fighters, Rush, Mastodon), a connection Damon made whilst working with Nick on Black Star Riders. The album sees Johnson return to his original hard-rock sound, feeding that fire he first discovered as a teenager playing Van Halen and AC/DC covers while in garage bands. “These are as good of songs as I’ve been a part of creating, ever in my whole career,” Johnson says.

Damon has an illustrious career as a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for Brother Cane, Alice Cooper, Black Star Riders and Thin Lizzy. Johnson‘s songs have been recorded and sung by stars like Stevie Nicks and Steven Tyler.

In 2019Johnson released Memoirs of an Uprising, a solo project that is both fierce and diverse. The first single, “Shivering Shivering “became an instant Top 10 Rock track. Immediately following that albums release Johnson spent the remainder of 2019 on a series of dates crossing North America including several shows withThe Winery Dogs(a supergroup of rockers featuring Richie Kotzen, Mike Portnoy and Billy Sheehan), a run of shows supporting Clutch, and the U.S. leg of the UFOtour.
