INTERVIEW: xJOSHx (Sea Shepherd & ex-To Kill)


Ex-singer of TO KILL and curent member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Josh took the time to fill us in to what's happening in the Antarctic, in the war against whalers. 




I first found out about Sea Sheperd at the To Kill show in Cluj Napoca. You were wearing a shirt with Sea Sheperd and i didn’t know anything of it so when i got home, i checked it out on the internet and i was amazed... 

1. First off, let’s talk about Sea Shepherd. What drove you to basically quit everything for a few months and set sail to the Antarctic Ocean?
Josh: For me since To Kill got together the band was an absolute priority. I was always an activist and a hardcore kid and i really lived my whole life just following these 2 paths. At the beginning of 2010 we decided that to kill would have broke up and as soon as we took this decision i decided to send my application to become a member of sea shepherd. Sea shepherd has always been an organization that i thought it was really important to support. Is the only marine conservation organization that uses direct action as it’s tool to achieve it’s goals and i think direct action is really nowadays almost the last tool remained to change things. I joined the ship “Steve Irwin” in may 2010 and since then i live on the ship. I left for the first time in august to go visit my friends and family for a few weeks and rejoined after a month.
