Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Johnny O’Neil has released the second single Comin’ For You taken from his debut solo album “Truth or Dare”. Along with the single is the music video that was world premiered on SleazeRoxx.com, watch the video below.

“This was more of a story video, with the guitar as metaphor for a woman, and my son, Rory portraying a much-younger version of yours truly. We also wanted to capture the band in a more laid-back atmosphere, and went for an attitude of us being at a rehearsal just having fun. The shoot was a bit more involved as well in that we had two different locations, Vig Guitars in Saint Paul for Rory’s cameo appearance, as well as the band playing in a warehouse location on East 7th Street in Saint Paul. I should also mention that Rory’s “co-star” is the O’Neil family dog, “Steve,” a 116-lbs., purebred Great Pyrenees that we “imported” from North Dakota through a rescue organization, North Star Great Pyrenees Rescue of Minnesota. Please consider getting a rescue pet, too. They are incredible companions.” – Johnny O’Neil

“Truth or Dare” is the blazing new solo debut from guitarist Johnny O’Neil, co-founder and mainstay of the Minnesota legendary hard rock band, Dare Force. It’s muscular, guitar-driven rock with a powerful foundation supplied by drummer Joachim Baecker, as well as a guest appearance by UFO’s original keyboardist, Danny Peyronel. Both O’Neil and Baecker are no strangers to the Midwest music scene and have finally joined forces to lay down a new set of refreshing rock & roll. Engineer and co-producer Brian Bart (a Midwest legend in his own right, and co-founder of Dare Force along with O’Neil) has delivered a crisp, clean recording that fully captures O’Neil’s blistering guitar work. “Truth or Dare” features nine songs, including the first single from the album, “Snake in the Grass,” the symphonic rocker “Temple,” the driving instrumental “World Run Amuck,” and a rollicking remake of The Beatles’ classic, “Revolution.”

“I just enjoyed listening to “Truth or Dare”, the upcoming release from Johnny O’Neil. If you like the classic hook-driven chorus, Johnny has you covered with “Comin’ For You.” Like guitars? The instrumental, “World Run Amuck,” should fill that pleasure.” -MIKE FINDLING: CHAINSAW / SLAVE RAIDER / MIKE FINDLING AGENCY

“Johnny O’Neil has crafted an album that’s a lot of fun to listen to with the guitars right where they should be – in your face. I just listened top to bottom – BEST ALBUM of 2021 so far!” – RON KEEL: HOST OF STREETS OF ROCK N ROLL RADIO SHOW & THE RON KEEL PODCAST
