This guy really gets what Rock n Roll is all about. Having been alive in 68 we used to call what he's describing as "a happening" something that just takes off in the moment and is never the same again. Others called it "jamming" which is a happening but doesn't amount to much. A happening is something that is so perfect for that moment so that when you hear it at any other time or in any other place, will not sound the same. I love how this guy THINKS about the music! Looking forward to hearing his stuff!
SO awesome to hear a dude who can really reference! you heard their most recent stuff released on the 7"?
That's awesome!!
Josh is great and has always been a TRUE musician.
His whole philosophy is, "humans playing human music"
He's so genuine. He tells it how it is and he knows who he is. That comfortability is why people can relate to him so much.
He's not just a musician, he's an artist....and an artist is a person that has a perception of things that goes far beyond the thing itself IMO.
great interview. Like great questions. GGs.
One of the greatest song writers of my generation.
Maybe i'm wrong, but learning form years of self experience, i swear this dude has ADHD and i love it. Very spontaneous , very creative, always goes hard and real with whatever he works with, doesn't care how weird and off the wall it is. I love '68. I feel like they hit me at a good time back when i saw them in 2018 opening for Fit For A King in AZ. Seeing them live I was HOOKED!
outrageous voice
I know I'm extremely late to this interview...10mins without the 'F' bomb or any other foul language... hat tip for that. I liked how he didn't get total philosophical, and try to explaining what the meaning of meaning is... He records in the studio...they doesn't use 100s of hours at the mixing board...Awesome
This guy acts very differently irl than he does live Hahahahaha.
my dad was in vietnam in 67-68 :)

the chariot ((
I don't want to hate, but Josh Scogin was a god in Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child. 1999-2001 he was literally my hero, Scogin changed the world in my eyes, but he needed to hang it up after Norma Jean, if you followed him from the beginning, the chariot just didn't set right, and 68 just seems like .. ugh I dunno, nonsense. at least its good for some people.... in my opinion Josh should've done at least a couple more Jean albums, and he should've hung it up when he was still a god of metal..
While Bless The Martyr was amazing, I think Josh has shown over the last few years that he can do a lot more than that. The Chariot have done some crazy things, such as the sacred harp choir in "And Shot Each Other", the massive Western buildup in "First" and the Charlie Chaplin speech in "Cheek". I think that was the point of The Chariot. I've seen them live 5 times, and it really adds to the show. Josh is a fantastic front man, and he brings a lot of energy to live shows. I saw '68 last night, and for a two-man band, they made a lot more noise and had more stage presence than the 5-member bands that opened for them.
Josh can do a lot more than metal, too. He released a soft, country album under the name "A Rose By Any Other Name", and he formed a rap group with Jake Ryan of The Chariot/Queens Club called "Oh, Henry!". I really like Josh's projects, I think he has an interesting outlook on music. Over the next year, we'll see if '68 takes off like The Chariot did, or if it's just a small short-term project. One thing's for sure, '68 are worth seeing live.
I think he should do whatever he fuck he wants.
BENNYin theTECH NO FUCKING WAY. As a true artist, it was both his decision AND his right to start the CHARIOT. Norma Jean was handed off because he felt that he was meant for a different path. He didnt care about being a "metal god", or any kind of god. He wanted to write music that meant something more to HIM, and those who shared his visions. Which is why the Chariot & '68 are his purest forms of expression. Non-conformist and unique. If Anthony Green had stuck with Saosin, then called it quits, the world would have never experienced the magic of Circa Survive (regardless if you like these bands or not, its just an example). True musicians write and convey what they feel is their purest art form. And that, is what makes Josh Scogin a musical god.
I'm sorry you can't enjoy anything Josh has put out since then. Too bad.
To me, The Chariot was by far the best thing he's ever done, but I like all of his projects. Norma Jean got even better when Cory joined the band (though it took one album to really get there), and '68 is very interesting to say the least.
