JOSH: 6 strings and words

"this generation gonna have to see that it's not the end of reality."

What got you into Punk Rock Music?

• I seemed to always be searching for something in music that I wasn't getting from the mainstream music you hear on the radio. When one of my friends suggested that I listen to Bad Religion, I went through a metamorphisis, and was dedicated to find out as much as I could about Punkrock music. I identified with the agression and ideologies in the music. I believe in Unity, and truly hope that Punk rock music will always stay true to the roots, that I am humbly trying to keep alive in my own music and thought.

What got you into playing Punkrock music?

• I went to every show in my neighborhood. I grew up watching SRS, Tweaked, Section 8, E-9, and early Knumbskulls, so eventually I wanted my own band. I bought a Fender Stratocaster, learned how to play power chords and was set. My first band was overthrown by SRS bass player, Ryan Bradley. I then played in a band with him and my drummer Zach, for about a year. Ryan helped me understand the purpose of Punkrock music, and set me free when he left for college. I then played with Zach and a friend Sean (bass) in Real American Zero's until he joind the army. Then Zach began playing with 2face4, and I met Derek. We jammed until Otto came along to play bass. This is where we are now.
