What a Great Punk

Episode 312: Genius in the Wall feat. Johnny Took from DMA'S

Broadcast on:
17 Sep 2023

Johnny is a talented guitarist, songwriter and 1/3 of one of our favourite Australian band's, DMA'S. Off the back of their biggest ever UK shows, and ahead of their largest Australian tour to date, Johnny joins us for a chat about the journey of DMA'S so far, how meeting your idols can turn bad, what it's like playing on Acid, why it's important to write a shit load of songs and to never throw away your demos. We also reminisce on how we all met, the good old days in the Sydney music scene, his time featuring on our Comedy Central mockumentary and talk show episodes, and he plays us the never before heard original demo of their massive hit, Delete!
