- Josh Roberts and the Hinges' first album, The Sugar Bird Test. It's live-in-the-studio, old-fashioned and modern, roots and raw Rock n Roll. They're traditionalists and stylists, but no purists. True believers who know it ought to be sacred, profane, ecstasy and pain. When two electric guitars are turned up so that it sounds like there's an invisible Hammond organ in the room, that's how Josh Roberts wants it. His music is built on the Blues, Country, Folk, and Rock music: The Southern burning this South Carolina native knows in his heart. The songs have homes stretching from Europe to Montana, but they always come back to the South for the spiritual alchemy that turns heartbreak into beauty and tragedy into laughter.
