Luke Anthony "Jocko" Johnson (born 11 March 1981) is an English rock drummer.
Johnson began his music career in the late 1990s drumming for a spree of small local West Midlands punk and metal bands. In early 2003, he was approached by California punk band Amen to join the ranks. After his departure in 2005, Johnson formed Beat Union as drummer and songwriter with Dave Warsop, Dean Ashton and Mark Andrews. He joined the Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets in 2009 until their disbanding in 2013. Johnson has also been involved in other musical projects, including working alongside Producer John Feldmann (Good Charlotte, The Used, Kelly Clarkson) and has performed session work for a variety of bands, including The Wonder Stuff and Foxy Shazam. In 2016, Johnson started the band Lowlives along with Lee Downer (the former frontman of the Defiled). Lowlives released their first EP, Burn Forever, in 2018 and their first full-length album, Freaking Out, in 2024.
