Tim Lambesis's Evaluation of Josh, taken from Daytimenews.com:
| “ | Based on hearing Josh's previous band, we knew he was a great bass player and singer...But when he came out to try out and rehearse with us, he ended up exceeding our expectations. Shortly after the try out we invited him to come back and fill in for us on our January U.K. tour. That tour really solidified the fact that Josh is the right guy for us. | ” |
On As I Lay Dying's latest album, An Ocean Between Us, Josh Gilbert sings the clean vocal choruses of the songs "An Ocean Between Us", "Forsaken", "I Never Wanted", "The Sound of Truth", "Wrath Upon Ourselves" and "This Is Who We Are".
Josh also attended Iowa State University. His first band Woolytooth consisted of Lee Nagore(guitars),J Burkhead(vocals) and Trey Sanders(drums).
