JOSHUA & THE HOLY ROLLERS
“Halfway lullaby, halfway banger”, Joshua & The Holy Rollers is a 4-piece band based in Los Angeles.
Typically, the words incendiary and humble wouldn’t be seen together let alone in the same sentence, but Joshua & The Holy Rollers are doing the damn thing. Comprised of Mac Hanson, Logan Baudean, Alex Moore and Joey Larosa, the four come together to form a sweet southern symphony of guitar riffs, honest lyrics, and a whole lotta love for Coors Banquet Beer.
Don’t latch on to the idea that Joshua & The Holy Rollers are a little bit of this and a little bit of that - because it’s not like that. There is no stark switch. The music ebbs and flows like the blood pulsing through your veins - it’s smooth but when it crescendos, man, your heart starts pounding. Your body starts moving. And suddenly you find yourself wanting to whip your hair around and jump in with your air guitar.
If you’ve ever caught me listening to JTHR in the car or at home, well, it looks something sort of, almost exactly like their video for ‘Talks Like Alabama’. It’s also a great representation of what you can expect when you see them live. Watch it below.
While they don’t have dates set in stone just yet, the guys of JTHR say new music is coming. Until then, do yourself a favor and catch them on the road at one of the dates below or you’ll find yourself singing, ‘I didn’t make the right choice, I should’ve listened to ya.”
