Joshua Lloyd releases debut EP

London-based singer and songwriter Joshua Lloyd has been building quite a name for himself, whilst also racking up some pretty impressive accolades on his musical résumé. He performed at the Great Escape Festival in 2019, has been featuring on radio shows such as Steve Robbins on BHL Radio.net, and was the proud winner of the esteemed Electric Music Magazine Best Unsigned Artist for 2020.

Armed with a huge passion and an innate skill for writing and producing music from his own home studio, and with influences such as Pop Punk, Blink 182, MGK, Modsun and Sueco under his belt, he has recently released his debut EP named Sick When I Wake Up, a well produced five-song presentation of ‘pop meets punk’.

Lloyd remarks that writing the first track “White Lies” became a motivational avalanche and paved the way for the rest of the album. A former relationship that was so incredibly toxic was the basis for the title tune, “Sick When I Wake Up”, which also features singer Becki Morgan so as to present the topic from both perspectives. “Suffocating” depicts the tale of fighting an addiction whilst in a relationship and dealing with the subsequent fallout.

The EP is loaded with a host of powerful and enjoyable aspects throughout. Lloyd expertly weaves punchy basslines, catchy drum loops and crisp guitars together, maintaining a vibrant, happy energy and a pop/punk sound throughout. It is an expertly produced debut EP that demonstrates that this artist has what it takes to produce music at a high level.
