Award winning journalist and lyricist Bryan Russo teams up with workhorse punk-rocker Ryan Abbott, to produce a terrific collection of deep-thinking hard-drinking songs. A scathing editorial, Journos debut full-length album In the Key of WTF is a sonic statement that neither buries the lead nor misses the point. Russo's lyrics recall the snark of Elvis Costello and dry humor of Randy Newman, while Abbott's hooks relentlessly propel this hard-driving quintessential record. In the Key of WTF is a palate cleanser for an audience saturated with the static of televised news commentary, but it also does the trick turned up with your car windows down on a hot August night.

“Journos has that rare ability to make a statement while at the same time remaining entertaining and musically engaging...Journos stands up and counts for something.” - Malcolm Burn, Grammy Award-winning producer, and radio host of "The Long Way Around"
— Radio Kingston 107.9 FM Kingston, NY

“Bryan Russo is bluesy as hell, like a young Tom Waits or Billy Joel.” - David Ivory, Grammy Nominated Producer
“WTF indeed! I put this on for a spin, and wasn’t just immediately hooked, I’m on my third listen in a row. Bursting with originality and old-fashioned, hard-driving songs of activism and pure joy.” - Tony Frankel
— Stage & Cinema

“As Journos, they’ve created a fascinating, socially conscious world apart from all previous history, driven by Russo’s insanely insightful, bitingly provocative lyrics (which read as fascinating as they sing) and perhaps the industry’s only dusty Americana vibe informed by defiant, edgy punk sensibilities. ” - Jonathan Widran, Entertainment journalist (L.A. Times, Billboard.com, et.al)
— The JW Vibe

“Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Journos is not afraid to shake the tree and get their musical hands dirty while having a damn, good time in the process. With witty and snarky content that will either make you laugh or yell, ‘In The Key of WTF’ displays all of these fine qualities. ” - Jimmy Rae, Skope Magazine

“Smart Lyrics and great musicianship. Journos plays the role of court jester: Clever and chaotic rabble-rousers whose job is to remind the monarchy of its mortality.” - Athena Hiotis
