Jonny McBee, the creative mind behind the electronic metal band The Browning and Fed Up Fingerboards, is bringing his music and fingerboarding worlds together in a big way for 2025. With a new album OMNI just released and exclusive deck collaborations on the horizon, McBee is set to take fans on a global journey blending heavy metal with fingerboarding culture.

Jonny McBee, Nashville-based musician and founder of Fed Up Fingerboards, has carved a unique path in both music and fingerboarding. Known widely as the driving force behind his electronic metal band, The Browning, McBee started producing music in his teens and eventually transformed his solo project into a full band in 2010. Fueled by his love for Dance Dance Revolution and heavy metal, McBee has released six albums and performed worldwide, building a dedicated fanbase. The band’s latest album, OMNI, dropped recently, and McBee anticipates that 2025 will be his biggest year yet as both a musician and fingerboard creator.

In 2023, McBee’s childhood love for fingerboarding led him to create custom decks for The Browning, sparking his passion for board design and manufacturing. Fed Up Fingerboards has since collaborated with multiple artists, selling thousands of decks to fans around the globe. McBee’s nights spent fingerboarding have been a therapeutic escape from the rigors of recording and touring, helping him unwind and recharge creatively.

One of McBee’s most unforgettable experiences took place in 2013, during his first performance in Germany at the With Full Force Festival. A crowd of 5,000 fans surprised him by chanting the melody of one of The Browning’s songs before they even took the stage, solidifying his connection with fans worldwide. Now, as McBee plans to bring Fed Up Fingerboards along on The Browning’s 2025 tour, he’s preparing content, exclusive deck drops, and artist collaborations to combine his two creative worlds.
