Over a constant and grueling regimen of American and European touring with bands like Ben Kweller, the Promise Ring, Burning Airlines, the Pernice Brothers, Varnaline and Jay Bennett, Johnson and his team have built a rabid international fan base and a reputation as one of the hardest-working rock bands in the country.
