Josh
Todd Turns Up The Heat At
The X Games
August
7, 2004 At The Staples
Center
In
Los Angeles
Aug 01, 2004
-
Just back from Japan where
they shared the stage with Aerosmith and The Who, performing
in front of over 100,000 people as part of “The Rock Odyssey” festival, JOSH TODD has
been tapped to bring their hypnotic rock & roll and raw
punk power to the X Games at Staples Center in Los Angeles on
Saturday, August 7. The band will command the stage
with songs from their explosive debut album, YOU MADE ME,
in-stores now and available at JoshTodd.com.
The title YOU
MADE ME, which comes from a song of the same name by
singer Josh Todd's old ahead-of-the-curve punk band, Slamhound,
is particularly revealing, as he explains: "YOU MADE ME refers
to society and all the elements in your life that mold you. If you don't like my vulgarity and crassness,
hey, you're the one who made me!" Todd laughs.
But
with big-mouthed, bold and soul-baring, headbanging performances,
JOSH TODD are a hard bunch to resist, with pain, passion
and raw power oozing from every pore, wearing their weary
hearts on tattooed sleeves.
On the critical
front, Hit Parader hailed, “Judging
by the contents of YOU MADE ME, this unit proves itself
to be one lean, mean rockin’ machine…this
is a band that celebrates the inherent glory of rock and roll
with every note they play and every word they say.” While Aquarian
Weekly described the album as “…a kick-ass
thrill ride that will bump you all night long,” and LA
Weekly declared, “…YOU MADE ME is a
lil’ monster of hard-rock brawn…one of the best
parts is Todd’s voice: a
clear, muscular baritone risen from the ashes of his husky
pack-a-day caterwaul…”After the
X Games appearance, the band will head out on yet another leg
of
U.S. tour
dates—including an appearance
at this year’s “Locobazooka! United We
Rock! Music & Arts Festival” in Fitchburg, MA on
September 26--having already logged six months' worth of
dates in support of YOU MADE ME.
