REVIEWS:
When I first heard this I thought someone must have been taking the piss – and I’m still not completely convinced they’re not.
The Journey, you see, are apparently Joshua Horvath aged 14, Samuel Horvath aged 11 and Ben Stanhope aged 15 and yet they produce full-on, dirty-South rock that could kick the arse of some of the same-old-nothing so many young bands are producing today. Lead singer Joshua has enough grit in his voice to sound convincing, despite the odd occasion when his tone gives away his age as well as providing sh*t hot guitar riffs. Bassist Ben provides a solid backline and if that drummer is really 11 years old then he is going to be something really special in a few years or so.
The Journey are most definitely ones to watch in the next few years.

I'm absolutely blown away by these guys. I've just been working at the Brit Awards and they are as good as any of the bands I filmed there!
