Fire Tiger Interview












Recently, I got the chance to interview James Ramsey from the band Fire Tiger.
We discussed the origins of the band, how they got their name, how they feel today's
music differs from the 80s and more. For the full interview hit 'Read More' and
make sure you support Fire Tiger by purchasing their album 'Energy', which
is on iTunes now!


1. How did Fire Tiger come about?

Well I was originally looking for a guy singer, but found that Tiff has real cojones. I don't mean that literally, she's still a girl, but is vocally comparable to the singers I like. We ended up all sharing a house together in LA. 

 2. What is your favorite song off the album and why is it your favorite?

 Everyone seems to have a different favorite.. Our primary singles are "Energy" and "He Has Changed".. "The Same Old Song" might be our personal favorite to listen to. We are currently working on videos to "Green Light", "Wall of Technology", and "Fancy War Dance".

 3. How did each of you get started in music?
