James and the Cold Gun

Cardiff, Wales, GB · 2019–present · active
James and the Cold Gun play guitar rock with the immediacy of a garage band and the muscle of post-grunge. Built around James Joseph and James Biss, the project grew from loud, self-recorded ideas into a full live band known for direct riffs, rough-edged hooks, and songs that waste little time getting to impact. "Long Way Home" helped open a wider path for the band, and the False Start EP and self-titled debut preserved the sense of a band making noise in the room rather than polishing away every scar. Their sound nods to early-2000s guitar rock, punk 'n' roll, Queens of the Stone Age grit, and the heavier side of alternative radio without becoming a nostalgia exercise. The vocals are melodic but shouted hard enough to keep the choruses raw, while the guitars favor fuzz, attack, and forward motion. James and the Cold Gun are at their best when the songs feel like compact collisions: loud, catchy, sweaty, and built for a low ceiling.

Josey Scott

Memphis, TN, US · 2023–present · active
Josey Scott is best known as the original vocalist of Saliva, whose raw, southern-fried vocals drove the band's biggest hits including 'Click Click Boom' and the Grammy-nominated Spider-Man soundtrack collaboration 'Hero' with Chad Kroeger. After departing Saliva in 2011 following 15 years with the band, Scott embarked on a solo career that reconnects with his hard rock roots while exploring new creative territory. His current solo project performs both Saliva classics and new material that showcases his powerful, versatile voice.
