Even on a bad night Josh sounds amazing, he's way to modest!

This level of honesty is not rare these days
It just doesn't exist anymore
Yesterday I had a massive pleasure to see Badflower live for the first time.
It was far above any of my expectations about an excellent show.
Josh is such a great singer, but also a performer and THE frontman.
They have completely outclassed headliners (BF supported Three Days Grace in this tour) by freaking lightyears.
TDG in comparison seemed to me like the old shoes somewhere in a corner (with all respect to them of course, being their big fan since 2005 until Adam's departure in 2013)

The first time I saw him live at BRRF, he definitely complained to the audience that he was sick and couldn't sing well. Still fantastic.

idk how to describe it but josh has what it takes to get me listen through the entirety of his interviews (even when i'm super tired and just wanna skip through snippets of a vid)- a really good storyteller maybe?

Josh, I can’t wait to see you and the boys August 15 in Great Falls Montana. You’re there with 311 and sitting on Saturn but the only band I’ll listen to will be you guys.

seen so many bands live in my life and literally badflower was top 3 his voice was perfect the night we saw them in Los Angeles. I left that show saying I hate Josh Katz because I and a million other people even taking singing lessons will never be able to sing let alone write songs 1/8 as good as Josh. A true natural talent and I’m completely baffled he has never taken singing lessons. Their performance will make you want to throw in the towel or completely motivate you to become half as good.

Stop vaping!! Bad bad boy. Can't talk though because I smoked from 16 to 24. But I didn't sing, just made art. Loved your show in Rockford! Wish 311 opened for you (shhhhh sorry not sorry), and your show was longer. Your music is so much better in person!!! Loved, love, loved it

Saw them on Thursday night at Summerfest. Yes, he complained about his voice through the entire set, but i thought it was right on. Great show! First time I saw them and was very impressed.

For someone who has no vocal training, Josh does an AMAZING job. I can listen to Badflower songs all day….and regularly do – never gets old. The quality of his live singing is INSANE. – He may not think he is consistent, but he is always quality. But PLEASE JOSH – YES! get some advice and coaching – just to help protect your precious voice so we have a rosy future following you guys! x x x x Let's see what giving up vaping does for him….

Vocal lessons will give you a bit more control so you don't blow out your voice. I kinda disagree with the eating thing, but I know heavy meals and certain foods affect the voice and make it hard to move your diaphragm. I do find milk and cornflakes good if you get dry mouth.

Josh's voice, to me, is built on his emotional connection to the material. His brutal honesty, even when just interacting, carries into his singing connection. Love and respect to him/ the band. ❤😊

First time I heard badflower was on the radio when 30 had just come out, and then I saw them a couple times at aftershock. His voice is just so perfect for his music. Obsessed now fr

Saw them for one of their first ever shows in New Zealand and Josh was hella sick, had to get a shot in the butt from the doctor and yeah he sounded sick but he still absolutely killed it – was quite impressive actually! So yeah, thanks for not cancelling because that was a good night!

yes, water water no food . And I complain to my audience when I’m at a show and I have any kind of an ailment lol And I have to take steroids for my kidney disease. So I am always awake … and if my voice is cracking because I’ve done too many shows. I will tell the audience 1000 times lol. Like don’t judge me today . Even though I know you’re judging me, lol 😂❤

just saw them in Atlantic City. I drove there to the city that no one lives in but everyone gambles in lol and they were fabulous. Always a good time. Can’t wait till I can go see them as the headliner again.
