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.

Are you ready to take a walk down Penny Lane and flashback to Yesterday? Come Together and join The Magical Mystery Tour as Beatles Mania takes over The Road To Rock this week!
May Pang is an American artist and former music executive from New York who worked for John Lennon from The Beatles and Yoko Ono as their personal assistant.
When John and Yoko separated in 1973, May and John began a relationship that lasted more than 18 months.
John later referred to their time together as his "Lost Weekend".
In 1975 John and Yoko Ono rekindled their relationship and remained together till John's death in 1980.
Recently May has hit the news as she and Paul McCartney's sister, Ruth McCartney, are bringing to life and immersive NFT experience of 15 unseen photographs that May took of John on the rooftop of Record Plant Studios in New York.
These photographs were meant to be the original artwork for his iconic Walls and Bridges album and have never before been shared with the public until now!
This has been made possible with Oasis Digital Studios and a preview of the collection is available now at www.oasis digital studios.com/nft-marketplace.
For those wondering what NFT's are, they’re non fungible tokens bought and sold online... A digital asset that represents a real world object.
They allow the buyer to own the original object and they contain built in authentication which serves as proof of ownership.
NFT’s are becoming an increasingly popular way to buy and sell digital artwork with £123 million being spent on NFT’s since November of 2017.
Last week I sat down with May to find out why it’s time to release these unseen photos of John and why in the format of NFT’s.
She talks about how she and John first meet, their creative relationship together, and she reveals who was actually her favourite Beatle!
