Josh Newton (born June 8, 1973 in New Bedford, Massachusetts) is an American musician, perhaps best known for his tenure in Every Time I Die, playing bass guitar. He is also the singer and guitarist of The Great Fire of Sixteen Sixty Six. Newton was a member of the following rock bands: Shiner, From Autumn To Ashes, Biology, Glazed Baby, Season to Risk, Iron Rite Mangle, Creamy, Shots Fired, The Damned Things, and Reggie and the Full Effect. Newton also did a tour playing rhythm guitar for Unsane in 1994 with Today Is The Day.
He currently resides in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and two dogs.
In August 2004, Newton was recruited to play bass for From Autumn To Ashes after original bassist Mike Pilato left. He met the band when they opened for Reggie and the Full Effect on the Vagrant America tour. Upon leaving FATA in August 2007, he was immediately invited to play bass with Every Time I Die for a tour with Underoath. He was recently announced via Twitter as the bassist for The Damned Things with members of Fall Out Boy and Anthrax.
Newton recently filled in on several shows for Danish rockers Volbeat when their bassist had to return to Denmark suddenly.
On October 12, 2011, it was announced that Newton and Every Time I Die had amicably parted ways, following the end of their international tour with The Acacia Strain.
One of Newton's current musical endeavour is With Knives, including The Damned Things bandmate Joe Trohman. The band has released an EP and are touring in the US. He's also been teasing material for a new project, Sie Lieben Maschinen.
