Album Notes

Biography

around joshua was originally formed in Trois Rivieres, Quebec back.

What started out as an alternative rock band has evolved over time to become more of a indie rock & "brit-pop" sound.

Enriched by the collaboration of various musicians, around joshua has become much more melodic and refined.

Strong determination to follow their artistic process has taken years to develope. Hundreds of hours have been necessary to realize the aspirations of Dave Talbo, the leader of the project. In his own words "The biggest dreams require the biggest efforts".

around joshua has performed, live, all over the province of Quebec including the major cities of Quebec City & Montreal. The band performed at the "Art Vocal Festival" in Trois-Rivieres in 2006 and 2008.

Over the years the band has shared the same bill with band's such as: the Dears, Patrick Watson, DJ Champion, Malajube & we are wolf.

The band's popularity has steadily grown by developing their sound, improving their art and conquering their public without the use of superficial gimmicks.

Due to increasing demand, the band decided to record their 1st CD. After ten months of hard work the maxi CD "Reversed" was released in November 2006.

The release of "Reversed" set off a chain reaction.

"Reversed" caught the attention of the president of Indica records M. Franz Shuller. Mr. Shuller's label represents artists such as the cat empire, priestess and Joseph Arthur.

Mr. Shuller introduced them to producer; Jordon Zadorozny, who has worked with artists such as "Sam Robert's band" and "Melissa Auf der Maur" (hole, Smashing pumpkins).

Mr.Zadorozny expressed an interest in recording the band and in 2008 the band began working on new material at Mr. Zadorozny's studio, in Pembroke Ontario.

This collaboration has peaked the interest of booking agent Guillaume Lemieux of the A.J. Feldman Agency. Mr. Lemieux has inquired about working with this band to promote the new CD once it is completed.

The CD is in the final stages of completion and should be ready for promotion soon.

With this team in place, the future of "Around Joshua" is poised to make big noise in 2010.
