Unapologetically authentic; Joshua is a powerhouse ready to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of those who lend an ear.
In the ever-growing landscape of pop-punk music, Joshua stands out as an artist who not only belongs on stage but also bends the genre in every direction. Tenement TV writes: “His mammoth singalong choruses and surging guitars are brimming with emotion and personal catharsis.” Joshua writes about friendship, loss, love and all the tribulations of growing out of your teenage years.
With ‘Edinburgh’ Joshua soared to #1 on the Official Scottish Single Charts and secured an impressive #34 on the Official UK Download Charts, setting the stage for his rise in the music world. His live performances, from sold-out shows in iconic venues like King Tuts to supporting Crawlers and STONE, are nothing short of electric.
BBC Radio Scotland has taken notice, giving Joshua’s singles ‘Track of the Week’ status with I Hate Goodbyes (Face In The Crowd) alongside BBC1 support from Alyx Holcombe’s Rock Show on Meet Me At The Bottom. Throughout his career, support from Amazing Radio has been integral to his journey with Jim Gellatly and Charlie Ashcroft championing him across the airwaves. This recognition speaks volumes about Joshua’s growing influence and the undeniable appeal of his high-energy pop-punk sound.
“When we got the chance to record with Al Groves in Liverpool, I knew I had to write a stadium ready rock song. Having worked with Bring Me The Horizon and Stone, Al’s track record spoke for itself, and it’s fair to say I was feeling the pressure. ‘Someone New’ is what came out – a hard look at self-destruction after a breakup. It’s about late nights, bad decisions, and the harsh reality of watching an ex move on. We aimed for raw emotion and a driving beat, and I think we nailed it.“
