[[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. ==Live Band== ===Current Members=== [[Ethan Luck]] - Guitar/Bass<br> [[Josiah Holland]] - Bass<br> [[Joey Sanchez]] - Drums<br> ==Discography== ===John Davis=== * ''[[John Davis (album)|John Davis]]'', 2005 (Rambler) * ''[[Arigato!]]'', 2007 (Bug Music) ===Superdrag=== ====Albums==== *[[Regretfully Yours]] (1996) *[[Head Trip In Every Key]] (1998) *[[In The Valley Of Dying Stars]] (2000) *[[Last Call For Vitriol]] (2002) *[[Changing Tires On The Road To Ruin]] (2007) ====EP's==== *[[The Fabulous 8-Track Sound of Superdrag]] (1995) *[[Stereo "360 Sound"]] (1998) *[[SeƱorita EP|Senorita]] (1999) *[[The Rock Soldier EP]] (2000) *[[Greetings from Tennessee]] (2001) *[[The Anniversary / Superdrag Split EP]] (2001) ===The Used To Be=== *[[Shameless Self-Destruction]] (2002) ===Astronaut Pushers=== *Astronaut Pushers EP ==Studio Work== *[[MXPX]], ''Secret Weapon'' Organ and BGV's on "Sad Sad Song" (2007) *[[Ruth]], ''Secondhand Dreaming'' Pedal Steel and BGV's on "From Here To New York" (2007) *[[Fair]], ''The Best Worst Case Scenario'' Pedal Steel and BGV's on "Get You Out Alive" (2006) *[[The OC Supertones]], ''Revenge Of The Supertones'' BGV's, B3 Organ, Piano and Guitar Solo on "Transmission" (2004) *[[30 Amp Fuse]], ''Wind-up'' (bass, lead guitar, vocals) (Darla Records, 1995) *[[30 Amp Fuse]], ''Saturday Night At The Atomic Speedway'' (lead guitar on "I Fall Down") (Dedicated, 1997) *[[Ghoti Hook]], ''Two Years To Never'' (piano, organ, Mellotron) (Tooth & Nail Records, 2000) *[[Scott Miller & The Commonwealth]], ''Thus Always To Tyrants'' (bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar & vocals on "Absolution" and "Goddamn The Sun") (Sugar Hill Records, 2001) *[[The Faults]], ''S/T'' (vocals on "Let The Angel Lie", "Big Show", "Lonely Place" and "Poison Land"; electric guitar and piano on "Poison Land.") *[[Allison Moorer]], ''The Duel'' (Sugar Hill Records, 2004) (bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, pedal steel, piano, organ, vocals.)
