Bio[+]
Bursting out of the same Sacramento, CA, scene that spawned such hard rock heavyweights as Deftones and Papa Roach, Die Trying got their big break at a show with the latter. Opening up for Papa Roach in nearby Modesto, the members of Die Trying — Jassen (vocals), Jack (guitar), Steve (bass) and Matt (drums) — put their usual 110 percent into performing their alt-rock influenced, emotional metal. However, the band was unaware that Island Records A&R man Paul Pontius, after having been passed a tape by Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix, was in the audience to check out the band. Pontius signed Die Trying on the spot, and their debut self-titled album was released on Island in spring of 2003.
