Joshua Gabriel

Recently transplanting himself to the Bay Area, the Brooklyn-known, Philly-born inventive artist Joshua Gabriel combines his kaleidoscope of influences into his latest release, “Walk the Plank.” An alternative rock, psychedelic-folk bender that channels wave paths of early Beck, Bob Dylan, and the oddities of Tom Waits, Joshua Gabriel’s newest shows off the diversities of raw, beat driven rock. With its dirty guitar snarls, overdriven vocals lines, hard-hitting drums, and a stream-of-conscious lyrical approach, Walk the Plank provides a concoction of warped imagery, merciless innovation, and a no boundary attitude reminiscent to that of early 90’s alternative rock pioneers. An avid artist, musician, writer, filmmaker, and DJ, Joshua’s creativity has shaped a defining sound for a new breed of multi-instrumentalist and artists. DIY boundaries are being torn and trampled, with Joshua independently producing, recording, and releasing 3 EP’s and two full length albums, each with a unique taste of staggering loops, raw, hard funky beats, and political subject matter. His latest is his most valiant effort to date, as Walk the Plank is a satirical stream of overdriven rhythmic stampedes, complete with shrouds of the deepest, most eclectic parts of Joshua’s brain. -Massive Music America
