Boo, bad article.

Here's a better one:

Thank you Josh Milton for your style and a well-written article.

What kind of band is Josh in?

My guess is "awesome". Maybe "rad".

The genre is called bootgaze-prog-emo, you've probably never heard of it, and it's more of a conceptual journey project than a band. We're playing at an abandoned chemical factory this weekend, you should come check us out.

Don't tell me where it is, I'll be there and also I was there last week.
