Josh Todd Is the front man and lead singer of American rock band buckcherry.
The band formed back in the nineties when Josh and former band member Keith Nelson were introduced through a mutual tattoo artist.
They recruited more members and began performing around the Hollywood club scene under the name Sparrow.
Despite a legal battle which ment they had to change their name to Buckcherry, over the next few years they enjoyed great success.
Their self titled album was certified gold and they toured non stop, opening up for the likes of Lenny Kravitz and AC/DC.
Over the years Buckcherry have had lineup changes, been put on hiatus and reformed, and band members have collaborated on outside projects with other artists. Through it all josh has remained the frontman and leading member of the band.
Fast forward to 2021 and Buckcherry are about to release their 9th studio album, Hellbound, out on June 25th.
Their first single form the album, So Hott, dropped a few weeks ago, with second single, Hellbound coming out a matter of days ago.
Last week I caught up with Josh as he prepared to go out on tour across America and Canada.
We chatted about how he first got into music and singing and what he does to keep his voice in top condition.
He explains the recording process behind the album Hellbound, which was produced by Marti Frederiksen, who has worked with the likes of Def Leppard, Aerosmith and Sheryl Crow, and he tells us why even after 21 years, Buckcherry are here to stay.
