Johnny Nasty Boots, a rising star known for his electrifying guitar work and powerful vocals, shared his inspiration behind the location:
“I stepped inside the house for the first time back in 2022 and immediately fell in love with the energy and mystery of the house. I knew I had to film a music video there. “Howlin’ & Dying”shares a similar energy, so this was the perfect excuse to be part of the history of one of the oldest houses in Los Angeles.”
The video is packed with striking visuals that evoke the timeless spirit of classic horror films, enhancing the dark, bluesy rock vibe of the track. The femme fatale, portrayed as a mysterious and dangerous woman, echoes the lyrics that explore the irresistibility of a woman with a deadly charm.
This release follows the success of Johnny’s previous single “Soho,” and adds to the excitement surrounding his forthcoming full-length EP, set to drop later this year. “Howlin’ & Dying” showcases Johnny’s unique blend of rock influences, spanning from the classic sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck to a modern, experimental twist. Fans can expect more to come from Johnny Nasty Boots, whose high-energy performances and dedication to rock are rapidly earning him a place among today’s leading new acts.
More from Johnny Nasty Boots:
Hailing from the heart of Mexico City, Johnny Nasty Boots is a guitarist, singer, composer, and producer who resides in Los Angeles. Johnny brings the roots of the psychedelic and blues sounds of the ‘60s and ‘70s to the present day, creating an exciting, energetic and modern sound that resulted in his single “Deadline” becoming Reactor 105.7 FM’s (Mexico City’s #1 rock station) song of the year.
His debut album was recorded at Sonic Ranch (Texas), produced by Grammy winner Yunuen Viveros and mastered at Vlado Meller by Jeremy Lubsey. With 6 singles from their debut and a live album Hollywood Affair / Live At The Whisky A Go Go that was recorded at the iconic venue during their 2019 tour, Johnny Nasty Boots is well-known in the underground LA and Mexican rock scene. After moving to LA in 2022, he’s gearing up to release his heavily anticipated EP with several singles throughout the summer.
Coming from an artistic family, Johnny’s father (Jorge Herrera) is a painter known for his abstract work featured at Monica Patiños restaurants and many other galleries.
Johnny’s influence and artistry is truly multicultural— born and raised in Mexico, he has lived in Los Angeles for the past 2 years, and a lot of the bands and people that inspired his sound are from the UK. In the age of the internet and social media such as TikTok, Johnny shares that he values face-to-face interaction with his fans, and wants to tour and play live as often as he can to build relationships with the people he loves so that they can listen to his creation, and share that experience live.
As a solo artist, Johnny also strives to stand for all the musicians in Mexico and prove that Mexico has a lot of talent to show to the world. “It’s always sad to me that the only well-known Mexican guitar player is Carlos Santana, I want to break that breach and help to build a bridge.” -Johnny Nasty Boots
His 2017 single, “I’m Cursed” led him to receive a Vans sponsorship and a sync placement on their international ad campaign.
