Media - official videos, live sessions, and concert photo archive
Featured videos (official / channel uploads)
These clips represent the band’s core eras: the 2011 single period and the 2012 Hyber Nation album cycle. They’re the fastest way to understand Johnny Berlin’s sound: tight post-punk rhythm, new wave synth layers, and indie-rock hooks that land without overproduction.
- “A Neve” - official-era video from the Hyber Nation cycle (2012). Watch on YouTube
- “Sid Meier (Sure Thing)” - single-era flagship (2011). Watch on YouTube
- “Living Again” - performance-oriented clip that shows the groove-first identity. Watch on YouTube
- “Give Me the Night” - tight arrangement + synth lift (album era). Watch on YouTube
Video types: what to watch depending on what you want
Not all band videos serve the same purpose. If you’re new, start with the official clips. If you want to judge the musicianship and vocal blend, go straight to live or acoustic recordings.
| Video type | Best for | What you’ll learn fast | Common downside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official music video | First-time listeners, press, quick sharing | Band “identity”, hooks, overall sound design | Less detail on raw live balance |
| Live full-band recording | Fans, promoters, musicians | Timing, groove, stage energy, real vocal blend | Audio quality varies by venue/recorder |
| Acoustic / TV session | Songwriting focus | Melody strength without production “help” | Not representative of full-band power |
| Audience / bootleg | Collectors, rare moments | True room vibe, crowd response | Shaky video, inconsistent sound |
Photo archive (press-ready structure)
A useful band photo archive is not “a dump of images”. It’s a small set that covers: portrait, stage wide shot, close-up with instrument, and crowd/venue context. Below is a clean template gallery you can populate with your best Johnny Berlin photos. Replace the file names with your actual assets (recommended: WebP, 1600–2400px long side).
- Band portrait - use for press articles and biographies
- Live wide shot - use for concert promos and event pages
- Close-up - use for social posts and thumbnail crops
- Synth-focused shot - signals the band’s new wave color
- Rhythm section - shows the groove-first foundation
- Audience/venue context - adds credibility and atmosphere
Media notes
Want to use photos or videos for articles, posters, or social posts? Keep it simple: use official embeds for video, pick a small set of strong images, and credit the band where possible. This keeps quality consistent and avoids random low-res reposts.
- Video: prefer YouTube embeds (official uploads when available).
- Photos: use the best 6–12 shots (portrait + live wide + close-up + crowd/venue).
- Credits: add “Johnny Berlin” and the photographer name if known.
- Press use: download high-res originals only if you have permission.
