episode 8: Josh Bradford
Josh Bradford has been in the Birmingham heavy music scene longer than most people have been paying attention. Escape Artist, Adlet, Witch Language and now a familiar face hosting weeknight events at Lee's Coffee inside Workplay — this one covers all of it.
Josh is a vocalist who has been showing up for this scene since the Cave 9 days. We talk about what it actually looked like to be in the Birmingham heavy music scene before social media, what it took to start a band and keep one going, the Escape Artist hiatus and reunion, the Adlet chapter, and what real loyalty to a local scene looks like once the easy part wears off. We also get into what Workplay is doing for local bands right now, and why mixed bills keep coming up in every conversation on this show.
