Bloodstock is fucking amazing. We have this incredible family here,

9
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.759

The whole crew is just like so nice.

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.359
And friendlies that a bad person also, Yeah, Like I

15
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.560
I've been saying, like I've been doing this for years

16
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.000
and I've never met an asshole yet at Bloodstock.

17
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.120
It's kind of hard to keep going, yeah, because his

18
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:09.000
assholes everywhere.

19
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.599
So nowadays, right, this is this is our safe haven

20
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:15.599
from assholes.

21
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.840
Yeah, it must be.

22
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.120
The genre s the genre belt heads are chill.

23
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.079
Well, that's definitely one of the big keys. But the

24
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.359
other big key is the people that run Bloodstock. You

25
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:31.439
know it's a family run festival for the fans by

26
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:32.159
the fans.

27
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:33.719
Yeah definitely. Yeah.

28
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.920
Yeah, So what was your journey to Bloodstock. How did

29
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:38.840
you end up here?

30
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.519
So we did the Metal to the Masses competition, which

31
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.359
is basically a competition where you go through four ryans

32
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.159
to you're fighting against other bonds trying to beat and

33
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.400
get get to the top. And we made it frough

34
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.239
to the final and that's how we secured a spot here.

35
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.760
Nice, So you must be really good because when I

36
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.200
heard is it's some really really solid talent all the

37
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.200
way around. Yeah.

38
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:02.799
I mean we've tried it multiple times.

39
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.120
This is our third time trying to get there, and

40
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.159
we finally we really pushed ourselves to like get for

41
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.639
this time. So we came with some really tough competition

42
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.680
in the first year. Yeah, Hamma who are playing here

43
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:18.400
on Friday No Friday, and we got to beat out

44
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.919
by them in the first year and either playing Sophi

45
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.560
Lancaster and but this year we made it for him.

46
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.479
We're hoping to phone in their footsteps exactly.

47
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.159
Nice. And one of the things I love about Melting

48
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.159
the Masses is not only does it given opportunity for

49
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.680
bands to play here, but you guys, it's a competition,

50
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.680
but yet you guys aren't competing, you know, like you

51
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.240
all love each other and support each other, and even

52
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.759
if you don't win, you're super happy for the band

53
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:48.479
that did.

54
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:49.280
Exactly.

55
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.840
Yeah, We've got so many like Edinburgh bands that we're

56
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.280
friends with and we just kind of recycle like gig

57
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:56.560
line ups and things like that.

58
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.159
So just compete in with friends.

59
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.479
It's like it's just a normal gig really compared to

60
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.759
an you know, it's not like we're competing. We're just

61
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.800
playing together and whoever wins wins, and we're happy for

62
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:06.759
whoever wins, you know.

63
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.199
Just have that hope. It was like someone's gonna win

64
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:09.960
and have a great time.

65
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.759
There you go. So where do you think you're key

66
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.120
weds to winning this time? By the way, I'm very

67
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.280
It makes me happy because I'm also a motivational speaker.

68
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.960
That you persisted until you succeeded instead of giving up. Yeah.

69
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.599
Well, I mean we always believed in ourselves.

70
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.439
We always thought we were doing something a bit different,

71
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.280
but this time we really uped our game. We tried

72
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.759
to like get a whole cafesive look. Before before we're

73
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.960
just going on with ban T shirts and short it's

74
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.479
pretty casual. We're still figuring our sort of stick, you know, yeah, yeah,

75
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:40.800
yeah this time.

76
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:42.319
This time we've got more of an aesthetic.

77
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.520
Yeah, we've put in a bit more effort and to

78
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:49.719
like make up theatrics. Also me, the violinist and the

79
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.439
chairlist haven't joined the band, so we're having a bit

80
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.479
of like kind of a little bit of nuance in

81
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.280
the metal scene, you know, live strings.

82
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:58.840
Yeah, it's a bit unusual.

83
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.000
We've got so got unusual line up with violin sallow

84
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.840
which before it was just like classic two guitars, bass jumps,

85
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:06.080
you know.

86
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.080
So so Keith Keith Duncan from Edinburgh because he was

87
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.319
he gave us a good message after our gig, like guys,

88
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.240
get some makeup like this style, you know, like really

89
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.480
dive into that esthetic and even aura and.

90
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:21.160
Go all out.

91
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:21.399
You know.

92
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:21.920
Yeah.

93
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.199
Fun keyword fun because if you're not having fun, we're

94
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.680
not having fun, you know. So it's so important. And

95
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.720
the common denominator I have found especially this year is

96
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.600
the bands have won that didn't win before. It's because

97
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.680
they listened to the advice and applied it. So that

98
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.160
that's pretty smart, you know. And then I love the

99
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.240
idea actually that you have a violinist and cell us

100
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.439
in the band, you know, It makes me instantly think

101
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.160
of Lindsey Sterling and she's a badass.

102
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.600
Oh yeah's awesome.

103
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.879
Like you watch her and like you want bang your

104
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.040
head because it seems like she wants to be in

105
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:03.959
the pit herself.

106
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:04.639
True.

107
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.560
Yeah, it's like playing into strengths, you know. It's like, oh,

108
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.639
my friends, a cellist, do you want to join? Like

109
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.360
you're great, come on, play into strengths and.

110
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.879
It creates uniqueness, which I think is so needed in

111
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.800
metal today because there's so many bands that are in

112
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.720
these they're boxed into these subgenres and micro genres that

113
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.160
they it's almost like they're using a formula to make metal. Yeah.

114
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:32.360
No, I totally agree.

115
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.480
Like we really, we really disregard the sort of genre

116
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:37.360
borders for us.

117
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:38.480
We tried to anyway.

118
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.360
We just call ourselves prog metal, you know, because that's

119
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.839
sort of the best descriptive for us. Just we're just

120
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.720
doing our own thing, hopefully progressing the genre, creating something new,

121
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.399
because that's what that's is a progressive metal or rock

122
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:51.920
or whatever.

123
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.160
But we still respect the genres as well.

124
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.079
Like James has introduced me to the world of metal

125
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.439
genres added I didn't even know exist that I'm like,

126
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:02.519
oh my goodness.

127
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.399
It's like a tree of life. It just keeps expanding.

128
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:05.839
That's funding.

129
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.519
That's pretty cool. And And before doing this, were you

130
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.560
into metal at all?

131
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.439
There was some metal bunds I liked.

132
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.240
I usually I lean more into like kind of quirky metal,

133
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:24.399
like that's the Bungle Primus, but James Moore introduced.

134
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:24.720
Me to metal more.

135
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.480
I also liked private with mister Bungle, and I love Bungle.

136
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.600
Yeah, like they first started when I was a teenager,

137
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.759
and they did go like in like they went in

138
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.000
all different directions in the eighties, like.

139
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.800
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we just love wacky stuff to be

140
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.160
honest in general. But yeah, I mean I've always been

141
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.000
into the old thrash stuff and all the you know,

142
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.319
Black Black Sabbath. That's where all started for us. Most yeah,

143
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.000
you know, yeah, big Concoccus Opith as well. It's big

144
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.360
and plus you.

145
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.920
Know, speaking of wacky stuff, the most fun so far

146
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.879
I've had at Bloodstock this year was being in a

147
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.160
marsh pit with a bunch of dinosaurs. That was that

148
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.240
was like the best wash bit ever. Man.

149
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.279
Yeah, some characters about it really like spices things up, yeah.

150
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.079
Push ups. At one point I was like, oh my god.

151
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:14.439
Yeah.

152
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:14.720
Man.

153
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.120
Right after that there was evil Scarecrow that you know,

154
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:22.759
they had spiders in the pit and crabs in the pit,

155
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.279
and they had the whole crowd doing this like crabs

156
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:31.040
with their hand opening and closing like they were crab claws. See,

157
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.199
don't take yourself so seriously.

158
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.720
Yeah, I mean, like my favorite bond of the whole time,

159
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.879
it's probably Battlesnake And they were like half naked bottle

160
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.120
snakes only on their on their we jockstrap sort of

161
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.399
things going on flying about it.

162
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:50.360
Not to expose.

163
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:55.480
Them, but that's the great thing about Bloodstock is there

164
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.000
is so much fun here. There's so much diversity. But yeah,

165
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.600
we're one big family, you know, definitely.

166
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.800
Yeah, Yeah, I'm just looking forward to meeting everyone, honestly.

167
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.920
Yeah, I mean I already feel like part of the family. Honestly.

168
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.319
It's it's yeh, been very welcoming.

169
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.560
It is true, Like everybody like is just so friendly here,

170
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.439
and you know, I'm gonna be sad leaving and going

171
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.360
back to my fucking insanity of the United States.

172
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.639
Yeah, if only this was like a week society. Oh

173
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:25.319
you Ryan.

174
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:29.279
Stuffy, I know, like I kind of feel like we

175
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.279
just need everybody to be at a metal festival, keep

176
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.600
all the political leaders out and we could work out

177
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:37.639
all our problems.

178
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.120
Definitely, Yeah.

179
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.399
Yeah, and we also like to discuss some of those

180
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:47.159
problems and our songs just a little promo political issues.

181
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.919
And that's the way it should be too, by the way, Yeah,

182
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.840
you know, because there's a lot of people out there saying,

183
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.600
even like Gene Simmons said, like, just play your music,

184
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.960
don't talk about stuff. No, that's what music's always been about.

185
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.399
Yeah, otherwise you get the rise of fascism, that sort

186
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.279
of thing. People just shot up about horrible stuff that's

187
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.000
going on, you know, yeah, exactly do you speak up?

188
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.440
Mean we have a platform? You go, you saw platform.

189
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.960
I always say that why not If you have a platform,

190
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.600
why not use it? You know, the fascists used the platform,

191
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:26.399
so why not you? And what is music? Music is

192
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.440
talking about all those things that bother you. That's what

193
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.120
you write in songs. That's you know, it's not pop

194
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.919
like this is something where whether it's metal or punk,

195
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.480
you're writing about issues. You're writing about things that are

196
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.879
bothering you. People don't have to necessarily agree with you,

197
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.159
but that doesn't mean they should shut you up either.

198
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.480
Yeah, I mean that's what rock's built on, you know,

199
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.799
one hundred. We're supposed to be a rebellion genre, you know.

200
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.159
I mean go back to Elvis, biggest rebel ever, you know,

201
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.600
and even you go before him, his mentors, that Chuck

202
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:03.080
Berry of the world, the Fats Dominoes, they were rebels too,

203
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.559
you know. Unfortunately, the rebels are the seventies, the hippiads,

204
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.639
They're the ones that became the boomers. I don't know

205
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:15.679
how that happened. It does start, it does trip me out, Like, Okay,

206
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.919
you're talking about hip beads that are the big love and

207
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.600
peace and this and that, and they're the ones causing

208
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.240
all the anti peace and and everything, whereas metal heads will, oh,

209
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:29.639
they're scary and they're evil. We're the ones promoting love

210
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.919
and togetherness and heat.

211
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.919
Definitely, I think that's just uh so media like image

212
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.200
of things. You know, it's definitely been pumped out by

213
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.759
I mean, obviously there's still scary people in the metal

214
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:41.480
ride well.

215
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.799
Too, but like it's so rare.

216
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.039
I'm not that bloodstock, No, no, no, definitely not like

217
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.480
like there's much more scary people the scary people everywhere,

218
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.919
and like there's much more out of side of any

219
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:52.799
metal gig.

220
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:54.879
I've ever been so absolutely, to.

221
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.440
Be fair, like, when I first kind of gotten into metal,

222
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.759
I was a bit like nervous just because of like

223
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.840
the really like explicit get A graphics, sometimes gruesome icnography,

224
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.840
lyrics things like that. But then I was like, oh wait,

225
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.559
that's such like a as you said, great platform. You

226
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.159
can just say whatever you want, honestly, anything you want,

227
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:11.759
you can say it.

228
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.200
And people misunderstand the lyrics a lot of times. Like

229
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.799
you take a band like Slayer that's talking about death, destruction,

230
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:24.519
this and that, you're not talking pro, they're talking against. Yeah,

231
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.480
you know, if you really read the lyrics instead of

232
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.440
just forming some stupid opinion.

233
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.320
Yeah, yeah, you go interprets it, you know, and you're

234
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:33.879
in the right way, you.

235
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:34.720
Know, no doubt.

236
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.559
Maybe that scary kind of imagery is what like kind

237
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.080
of froze people off, but keeps like, you know, the

238
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.039
people who see beyond the veil coming to these shows and.

239
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.240
Actually exactly and keeps the assholes out because.

240
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:47.879
There's yeah, that's true.

241
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.200
Yeah, there's certain artists have said to me, let's let's

242
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.000
keep them thinking we're scary, so the assholes don't come.

243
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.080
That's so true.

244
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.159
