Two hippies and a square. Two hippies and a suit.

We talk about the punk scene in Virginia Beach. And then I’ll bar called Kogan’s.  Or was it Keagan’s.

Josh‘s superhero origin story

Josh’s dad plays music. He plays bass guitar and sings but he was more of a hobbyist than a professional.  His dad was actively play gigs in the 60s and 70s. And he used to leave his instruments laying around the house where Josh and his brother with toy around with them from time to time. Josh’s brothers name is Sean.  Sean is a professional guitar player.  Josh has been playing drums since he was 15 and he’s almost 35 now so he’s been playing for almost 20 years.

Josh tell us a funny story about how his friend met Joe the guitarist from Gojira because he always comes into the Home Depot where his friend works.

“I’m gonna play it till it’s perfect guys, please bear with me” Josh Salant

One of Josh’s favorite drummers is Nick Mason of Pink Floyd. He’s very understated and underrated. “I really like the way he plays behind the beat “

He also mentions Chad Smith,AC/DC, Megadeth and Pantera among others as influences. A lot of influences but very firmly in the rock to hard rock genres.

‘I just wanna make the artist happy. Because it’s their work.  It’s not about my drumming at all, I just want them to feel like “yeah this is gonna really enhance my song.”’

Josh was running his studio and since 2005. He only officially opened it for business in 2014. He’s got a lot of years running that sound.

The first record ever made was for his thrash band in 2005 called Name Your Poison. A thrash band from high school - everyone was from Canarsie Brooklyn.

Josh says that he sees certain genres coming back right now. He sees a resurgence of the old school Brooklyn hard-core and a lot of metal stuff (lotta metal projects being started right now). He also noticed a big resurgence in film scoring.  A few years ago Neo Soul was the big thing.

Josh talks a lot about his process in the studio. Specific things he does to help bands get a good take. Lots of different ideas about feedback he gives to the band. Helping bands plan their records setting expectations for how much could be done in a day. Instrumental ideas for tracking. Lots of great stuff.

Josh‘s current projects are:

No call no show

Monster over there

The coffin daggers are signed to Cleopatra records

Nova lantern

Man-made Hills

Taylor and the apes

Josh has a lot of vintage tube amps that he babies.

62 Vibrolux

78 Fender twin

Marshall plexi clone

5150

Modern Marshall JCM 2000 triple super lead

Sears Silvertone from the 60s

“The magic happens in the live room. 90% of the sound is the live room with maybe 10% of the control room.“

“When you have the right rig that inspires you then the performance is inspired and everything just sounds better”

“This may sound cheesy but I feel like I’m kind a living my dream right now”
