John Bongiovi and the Wild Ones Review​

1982-07 - New Jersey

Newspaper clipping from The Aquarian, July 7-14, 1982, pitting John Bongiovi and the Wild Ones against Sonny Kenn and the Wild Ideas (the author leaning towards the Ideas camp). ​

The spotlight ends on the positive note that Bongiovi's promise is strong, and that when he inevitably lands a lucrative record deal it will be good for the entire New Jersey Shore music scene. ​

"According to insiders, John Bongiovi has the best chance of scoring a record deal in the not so distant future. ​

Bongiovi says his band, the Wild Ones, 'is just a temporary thing.' Essentially it consists of friends and is designed to keep the singer exposed to live reaction to his originals. A good idea."
