With a unique blend of folk\/Americana-infused rock, and expertly arranged instrumentals providing the perfect setting for his voice, &#8216;Fight Strong&#8217; is definitely going to appeal to many.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although also an established model &#8211; Josh has campaigned for Burberry and Levi&#8217;s 501 Jeans among others &#8211; music is his one true love, and &#8216;Fight Strong&#8217; was recorded in Los Angeles with Erik Kertes, taking a month to complete. With influences as diverse as Jeff Buckley, Jack White, Paul Simon and more, the EP is a a bold stretch but nonetheless very special: the lyrical themes are quite varied and relatable &#8211; telling a tale of a young man who&#8217;s experienced a lot, but is now at a stage in his life where he&#8217;s comfortable with who he is, and prepared to fight to achieve great things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Josh Beech can be found online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoshBeechMusic\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joshbeechmusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/joshbeech\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joshbeechmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Website<\/a>. &#8216;Fight Strong&#8217; is available to preorder now on <a href=\"http:\/\/apple.co\/1fEZnr9\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>.
