FRANTIC! are more than your average rock band, they have been together, as a unit, for just a few short months.
Jed and Tony have been best mates for years, meeting Graham in the online music cafe website, where, Jed had posted some
of his and Tonys music and issuing a challenge for the karaoke singers to try to first put lyrics and then to sing over the
backing track and Graham managed it, in record time.
Next came the first meeting, Jed drove to Liverpool, with Tony and the three of them actually wrote American Flags right
then and there.
Next came Nat, practicing in Liverpool, the 4-piece wrote and jammed more material, including, Paint It Black, by The
Rolling Stones, In The Army Now, by Quo and Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes.
Then they thought they'd try a second guitarist, so Nat switched and John Norfolk came in to play bass, but due
to a massive workload, he couldn't commit to the band.
So now FRANTIC! are a 4-piece, rockin' to a town near you as soon as possible. See you on the road!!!!!!!

GRAHAM 'ED' MOORE, VOCALS
Ed only began singing in earnest in the summer of 2005, a year after he got the urge to start writing
songs. The handsome, talented and friendly Scouse frontman is delighted to have found a vehicle for his lyrics and he is determined
to help take Frantic! as far as they can possibly go. Other than music the great love of his life is Liverpool FC. "In Rafa
we trust" being his personal motto.
