Johnossi Members, Gear & Sound

Johnossi is a Swedish indie rock duo hailing from Stockholm, formed in 2004. The group consists of John Engelbert (vocals, guitar) and Oskar "Ossi" Bonde (drums). Known for their dynamic and energetic performances, Johnossi blends indie rock, alternative rock, and Swedish pop influences to create a sound that resonates with audiences both in Sweden and internationally. With multiple critically acclaimed albums under their belt, the duo has established themselves as a powerful force in the contemporary rock scene.

Johnossi's sound is characterized by gritty, powerful guitar riffs and forceful yet melodic drumming, creating a raw, engaging auditory experience. John Engelbert often achieves this gritty texture using equipment like the Gretsch G5620T and the Marshall Superlead Guitar Amplifier Head. To add depth and atmosphere, Engelbert employs effects such as the Boss RE-20 Space Echo for delay and the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano for reverb. These elements combine to create a sound that is both aggressive and immersive, with a rhythmic intensity that drives their live performances.
