Johnossi is a Swedish rock duo named after its members: singer-songwriter and guitarist John Engelbert and drummer Oskar "Ossi" Bonde. Formed in Stockholm in 2004, the band quickly gained a reputation for their energetic live performances and a sound that melds a variety of genres, including rock, indie, and acoustic music. Engelbert's distinctive guitar work, often enhanced with a variety of effects pedals, and Bonde's dynamic drumming style provide the foundation for their unique and engaging sound.

Over the years, Johnossi has released several critically acclaimed albums and EPs, and their music has evolved to feature both introspective ballads and high-octane rock tracks. Their more recent works encompass a diverse range of songs from the anthemic "Adore" to the reflective "Anxious Angel." The duo also demonstrates their dynamic live presence with releases like "What's The Point (Live in Gothenburg)" while their appearance on "Så mycket bättre 2022 - Tolkningarna" showcases their ability to interpret and reimagine the works of others. With each release, Johnossi continues to solidify their status within the Scandinavian and international music scenes, captivating audiences with their heartfelt lyrics and compelling melodies.
