Josh Needs | "Fault Line"

This week we are crushing on Josh Needs as he releases his latest track "Fault Line", the lead song from his upcoming EP release set for later this year.
The track takes us on a progressively emotional journey, combining the acoustic guitar with electric resonance and  husky vocals as we’re embarked on a magical journey through intertwining sounds. The song reaches its pinnacle  towards the bridge, transcending into energetic waters. Powerful drums dominate Fault Line, giving it that extra kick. Josh maintained the visual of “Natural Disaster'' throughout writing and producing the single, and his track “Rumbly” had further influence in the song-making process, retaining a “quaky feel to it.” The track blesses the audience by burying a thunder sample in the bridge, symbolising worlds colliding.
Josh explained “I wanted to take a melodic approach when writing the solo. Too much flash in this instrumental section would have distracted from the energy and emotion of the song.”
The EP effortlessly flows into delicate seas as we hear dreamy strumming on the strings as opposed to hard hitting and heavy instrumentals, due to Josh suffering a fracture on his right radius while skateboarding  halfway through creating the EP. This resulted in him being homebound for six weeks, unable to delve into his creative outlet.
Josh Needs’ career highlights have already included collaborations with some of the greatest names in Australian music. Bringing his incredible stage presence to such festivals as Australia’s Woodford, Blues On Broadbeach, Airlie Beach Music Festival, Tamworth, and an unforgettable appearance at the iconic Sydney Opera House. Josh has also toured and shared the stage with the likes of Diesel, Russell Morris, Jon Stevens, Tommy &  Phil Emmanuel, Kevin Borich and recently supported Ian Moss and The Animals (UK).
Josh’s mind blowing talent is hard to ignore with his unique sound, as he encourages the audience to step into his world of passion and intense emotion. “Fault Line” is an immediately memorable song that reminds us of the beautiful nature of our community, particularly during the trying times and chaos that was the last few years. The track shows promise for the EP and we couldn't be more enthralled for its release.
