Josh Frampton.

Josh Frampton, for those who don't know, is a member of the band Against the Tide from which we took our song.
We asked for his opinion on our album booklet, this is what he said; "It's something that most teenagers fantasise about. Being in a band and I feel very honoured to say that I was in one that, for the most part, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing the songs, I enjoyed the recording process but, above all, I enjoyed the live performing. I think we all did. Especially when we got the crowd involved with what we were doing. At every live gig we performed, we did a crowd jump in the middle part of a song called "Within Me" which always made us feel good I think. There's something about people actively jumping to something you've created. (Especially when, at one gig, the mass of people jumping in one room caused the building's fire alarm system to go off!) As for I Won't Die For You, Joe brought the song to a practice one day and I automatically fell in love with it. It was Joe's first major writing contribution to the group but i could tell it's potential when Joe first played the riff and taught us the rest of the track. It took us a little while to complete it due to a creative argument with part of the song but we managed it. I also had to re-write the lyrics due to Joe's original lyrics being near impossible and, well, lyrically....interesting. The lyrics in the chorus, however, are Joe's original lyrics so about 90% of the lyrics have been re-written. But it was always a fun song to play live and we always enjoyed doing it too which is important. It continues to be one of my favourite live songs and I even play it acoustically at solo gigs! But every band needs some kind of love song and this was ours. And that was fine because it was heart felt, passionate and technical. But above all, it was fun and that's what counts." -Josh Frampton [Vocalist for Against the Tide]
