Josh Todd & The Conflict
Led by Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd, the group is rounded out by his Buckcherry bandmate Stevie D on guitar, Sean Winchester on drums and bassist Greg Cash.
“It was time for me to make a record. It has been two years since I put out new music and that’s a long time for me,” Todd says in a statement. “I am a student of the game and this was an opportunity to not just make a traditional sounding rock record like I have been doing in the past. The Conflict stuff is heavy, melodic and honest, with a lot of risk taking and these are the records that bring out the best in me.”
Buckcherry spent the latter part of last year celebrating the 10th anniversary of their album 15, and last month played the Rock Into Spring Festival. This year has been fairly light in terms of schedule, with the group set for the Bud Light River City Rockfest in San Antonio, Texas May 27. That left time for Todd and Stevie D. to devote to The Conflict.
“Stevie D and I wrote all the songs and it was a long time coming,” Todd says. “He also co-produced the record with Eric Kretz (Stone Temple Pilots) and we had a lot of fun doing it. After working with Stevie beating a lot of songs into shape we started understanding our songwriting language. Stevie is a well-rounded musician and we are in the zone on this one. Both of us are in the same boat in every aspect of our lives and have been friends since I was 19. This record is a divine intervention with a lot more to come.”

Orange Blossom Special is a high-energy Rock n Roll band that can best be described as a Full-Tilt Explosion of Fun!!!
The Orange County-based band made up of brothers, Anton (guitar/vocals) and Alan Hoetker (bass/vocals) with a revolving door of drummers, takes inspiration from the best of Classic Rock guitar licks with the punch and voltage of ‘90s punk. Imagine a potent cocktail of Lynyrd Skynyrd meets AC/DC with Billie Joe Armstrong driving the rhythm for extra muscle.
The band is fresh off the road from their 2nd US/Canadian nationwide tour in support of their debut record “Cocktails & Treasure Maps”; where they had the opportunity to share the bill with Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Seether, Bullet for My Valentine, Sevendust, Black Tide, and Hell or Highwater for 2 months as the Official Party Band for the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival. Orange Blossom Special was also selected to open the 1st annual 48 Hours Festival, ”The World’s Biggest Rock n Roll Party Weekend,” in Las Vegas, NV featuring the above mentioned bands as well as Korn, Godsmack, Hollywood Undead, and Sick Puppies.
In a short time, with no label, management, or financial backing, Orange Blossom Special has started to make a name for themselves while leaving a lasting impression in the minds of those who have witnessed their anything goes live show. The band lives by the motto: “Any place, anytime, anywhere! Play every show like it’s your last and leave it all on the stage.” Orange Blossom Special is made up of three guys playing their hearts out and loving every minute of it. Welcome to the PARTY!
