'''John Davis''' (b. [[April 12]], [[1974]] in [[Tennessee]]), was a founding member of the rock band, [[Superdrag]]. Davis' primary roles in the band were that of songwriter, singer and lead guitarist. By the time [[Superdrag]] was beginning work on their fourth full-length record, Davis was an [[alcoholic]]. One night as Davis was driving, he felt the presence of [[God]]. Davis gave up alcohol at that moment, and turned his life to [[Christianity]]. This inspired the metaphoric title of Superdrag's fourth album, [[Last Call For Vitriol]]. On March 8, 2005, Davis released his first solo album, playing all instruments on the record, with the exception of some bowed strings and percussion. The self-titled record, [[John Davis (album)|''John Davis'']] is a combination of his signature pop melodies and a devout faith in God. In March 2006, John put alternate versions of the songs from his album on his [http://www.johndavismusic.com/ website]. Davis has finished recording his second solo album titled [[Arigato!]], which was released October 2, 2007, at shows and by pre-order. He is also currently a member of the [[Christian rock]] band [[My Red Hot Nightmare]], where he is a guitarist, backing vocalist, and second string drummer.
