Josh Ansley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josh Ansley was the bass player for the ska band Catch 22. Raised in Old Bridge, NJ, Josh was a Ford Model as a child/pre-teen and an actor as well. In high school, he played in Social Butterfly, an alternative band with the guitarist for his current band, Paul Spatola. He then joined the pop-punk band The Youth Ahead before graduating and joining Catch 22. He played a fretless bass when he started but later for Streetlight Manifesto he played a five-string bass. Josh left Catch 22 after a few months after the album Keasbey Nights was released, because he wanted to be an actor. Later he joined with Tomas Kalnoky to form Streetlight Manifesto. He played with them for a while before later leaving again to try for a career in acting — so he was replaced by Chris Paszik, who was recently replaced with Pete McCullaugh.

Josh is currently the bassist for the alternative metal band, Hurt, and resides in California.
