History

Joshua was a Los Angeles-based white metal band lead by the fast axeman, Joshua Perahia. The group was formed in 1980 and ‘Joshua’ maintained a dual-role of singer/guitarist for a while. The young band independently issued The Hand Is Quicker Than The Eye MLP in 1983, which was licensed to Enigma records. From hereon began a consistent pattern of line-up changes for Joshua, which became the band’s trademark.
Double Trouble was issued in 1995 and was, in fact, the band’s first two albums.
Joshua became M-Pire in 1995 and eventually simply adopted the name of its main man as its monciker. The band performed at the Stryper Expo in 2001. Joshua also claims responsibility for leading singer Roc Rock to Jesus Christ our lord and saviour, etc.
