It didn’t take long before Josh’s unique voice and song writing style, influenced by the likes of Elliott Smith, Evan Dando, and Sparklehorse, began to find favour amongst music tastemakers, critics and Triple J listeners. The first taste, the assured ‘Kids Don’t Sell Their Hopes So Fast’, found high rotation on Triple J and soon ‘Silver’ and the gently sweeping ‘Doldrums’ followed to similar praise and airplay. These tracks are now available on the CD ‘Recordings 2003-2005’ through The Million records.
Josh signed to Ivy League Records and shortly afterwards travelled to New York for some further writing, performing and demoing and upon return set about recording what was his debut release under his own name, a mini album entitled “Feeding The Wolves”.
“Feeding the Wolves” signified a great deal more than a change in name: It revealed a huge step in the development of Josh as an artist and songwriter. The subject matter was as broad as titles like “Beg Your Pardon”, “Private Education”, “Middle Of The Hill” and “Goldmines” suggest, however it’s Josh’s lyrics that draw this collection of songs together into a complete package. He cleverly dissects human emotion and feelings and shows them for what they are: complex, abstract, fascinating.
There is hope in the opening track ‘Beg Your Pardon’ and in ‘Fill You In’ there is emptiness and longing.

I somehow knew people would define his music as indie. I still will never understand that, and funny thing is, neither will any of you.

Possibly the most boring, unimaginative song-writer I have ever listened to, or atleast in the top 5. Fair enough each to their own, but this music is not catchy in any sense whatsoever, and to top it off his lyrics are the equivilent to that of a stoners just writing literally what just comes into his head.

Josh was excellent at the White Album concert at the Opera House. He performed a lot of the slower ballads. Damn fine job.
