Lord John was an American Bomp! Records band in the late 1980s. Their sound has been compared to that of Echo & the Bunnymen, with enough psychedelia to have them touted as part of the then emerging paisley underground movement. Their debut album, Six Days of Sound (1986) was praised by some critics. The album was also released in Greece on the Hitch Hyke record label where it sold well. Six songs were subsequently recorded in New York City sessions for a follow-up album, but were never released although bootlegs have surfaced.
Lord John were New Jersey psychedelia revivalists, an integral part of the New Jersey 1980s scene, along with The Secret Syde, The Laughing Soupdish, Mod Fun, and Tiny Lights.

Famous quotes containing the word lord:
“When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy...and you defeat them, then you must utterly destroy them. Make no covenant with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for that would turn away your children from following me, to serve other gods.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 7:1-4.
