Excitement and anxiousness are two similar emotions. Imagine having both tied up something you love-your passion that you've spent years cultivating. Imagine having the courage to lean into your anxiety and conquer it. That's what Josh Katz, lead vocalist of the band Badflower has done over the past couple of years. The emergence of their song "Ghost" deals with the topic of suicide-a fictional tale of a guy coping with those thoughts. This is based on similar thoughts that Josh has had in his life. Expressing those feelings through his music has allowed him to be comfortable with who he is as a person. Dealing with anxiety is a constant battle-there are good days and bad days. Having the confidence to continue on is something that Josh has achieved. This raw and real story has magnetized people to Badflower, growing in popularity over the last few years with songs like "Ghost" and "Heroin".

New album out called "OK, I'm Sick". One of the more personal tracks is the song "Promise Me". It deals with the emotions of realizing you're loosing your childhood and those initial feelings of first experiences. Many firsts through love, heartbreak, excitement, and passion. It's tough to replicate the feeling that you get when you experience those things as a kid. It's new and exciting. You still might have the elation of experience in adulthood but it never compares to your first.

The band is on the road right now and will be apart of DOMK Jam 1 at the historical Cain's Ballroom April 24th. Ticket info is available at cainsballroom.com. Hear the full conversation that Lunchbox and Promo Brady had with Josh Katz on Badflower on episode 95 of the DOMKcast. #DOMKRock
