Josh joins the band from THIS ENDEARING, a local band in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. “ Based on hearing Josh’s previous band, we knew he was a great bass player and singer. But, when he came out to San Diego to try out and rehearse with us, he ended up exceeding our expectations. Shortly after the try out we invited him to come back and fill in for us on our January UK tour. That tour really solidified the fact that Josh is the right guy for us,” says Lambesis of Gilbert’s addition to the band.
