PipemanRadio Interviews FRAYLE at Bloodstock Open Air 2025.

The Pipeman Radio tour landed at The UK’s biggest independent metal festival featuring not only some of the biggest bands in Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, but also some of the best emerging metal music out of the UK and Europe competing in Metal 2 The Masses for a spot to play on New Blood Stage. The festival also features The Sophie Lancaster Stage dedicated to the memory of Sophie being brutally beaten and murdered just for being Goth and different. Sophie’s story particularly resonating with anyone who has been bullied, abused, or attacked for simply being who they are. The mission of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is to stamp out prejudice, hatred and intolerance everywhere. This festival is more than just great music, fun, awareness, and togetherness. It's a family driven DIY Festival that cares where there ar eno outsiders. We join together for a common cause.

waiting for that somebody weekend.

14
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.560
I was waiting for that all weekend.

15
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.840
Low hanging fruit. I went there.

16
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:40.479
I love it.

17
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.119
We love it here. Our booking agent actually put this

18
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.399
together and when we heard that we got to play Bloodstock,

19
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.079
our minds were blown, right, So we are very excited

20
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.280
to be able to play and to interact with this audience.

21
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.399
Yeah, it's been amazing here, like hot, but amazing.

22
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:00.719
Yeah, and you believe it.

23
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.200
I live in Florida, okay, and I'm fucking hot.

24
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:05.760
It's ridiculous.

25
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.680
I had to pack winter clothes to come here because

26
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.400
your weather's usually so bipolar. And even this morning, I'm like,

27
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:14.920
I'm gonna wear jeans, and now I'm like, oh, that

28
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:15.799
was a bad move.

29
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:16.959
I regret this decision.

30
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.040
Yeah, I know, right, So it is like such a

31
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:21.920
to me.

32
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:27.079
It's like the best metal festival, like a true metal festival.

33
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.439
There's other metal festivals.

34
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.879
I do a lot of them, but this one HiT's different, right,

35
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.159
you know, the people, the community, the bands, we're just

36
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.680
like one big family and I love that's diy right.

37
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:46.959
Absolutely, there's definitely an energy here and it feels like family.

38
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.799
Like you said, it feels like just love. And everybody

39
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.359
has been so kind and so into the music. It's

40
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:55.319
blowing our mind.

41
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.239
Yeah, and we just can't wait to come back.

42
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.159
When are you coming back? Let's Vicky she has have

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.480
will be back in UK and Europe before the end

46
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.639
of the year, and hopefully this will lead to more

47
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:09.719
appearances of Bloodstock.

48
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.240
Nice. And where are you guys from.

49
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.120
We're from Cleveland, Ohio.

50
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.199
Oh so you're from my necad world. I thought you

51
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.439
said more American.

52
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:18.840
Yeah.

53
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:19.560
Absolutely.

54
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.800
So do you play festivals in the US?

55
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.960
Yeah, we actually have one coming up in.

56
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:26.680
October after Shock.

57
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.879
No, it's a smaller one. It's a Tennessee Metal Devastation.

58
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:30.919
Oh, I know that one.

59
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.599
We'll be there. And then we played Incarceration last year.

60
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.639
That's like one of the only years in the past

61
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.479
ten years, I didn't do ink. Why isn't that fucking

62
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.319
you want to know the real reason why? Because Wimmer

63
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.400
wasn't allowing interviews at you.

64
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.599
Oh yeah, well it's a bummer.

65
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.240
I'm a said here, you could have a review ticket.

66
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.960
I'm like, if I can't do interviews, there's no reason.

67
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.319
Yeah, but I love changed for this year. Yeah, okay, good.

68
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:57.800
I was there just last month.

69
00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:58.479
Okay, awesome.

70
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.039
Is that the coolest festival in the States.

71
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:01.639
It's amazing.

72
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:03.719
Yeah, and it's only like an hour and ten minutes

73
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.039
below us. So to have that, you know, reformatory or

74
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.719
is that the right word reformatory? Yeah, yeah, down there,

75
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.840
it's incredible. But yeah, it's like to play next to

76
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:12.240
that and to.

77
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:13.400
Walk through it like it's crazy.

78
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.520
Well, it's fice because I tell some bands and interviews there.

79
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.759
I'm like, you know, you're like Johnny Cash because the

80
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.840
prison next door, the inmates are outside hearing you.

81
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.240
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can see them.

82
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:25.199
It's so cool.

83
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:25.879
It's crazy.

84
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.680
And my youngest stor she's always like how old is she? Thirty? Man?

85
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:31.680

Or in next month, She's like she calls me up

00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.240
all the festivals US, UK, Europe, I do all the

89
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:45.280
whimmer ones. And she's like, so you're excited about going

90
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.080
this festival. I'm like, well, I don't know if excites

91
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.199
a word. I love doing it, but when you do

92
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:52.840
it every weekend, it's excited.

93
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.680
First time I did inc, I called her up.

94
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.960
I'm like, I'm calling you from the Shawshank Prison.

95
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.879
Yeah, dude, now I'm exciting. Yeah you know.

96
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.280
And then I was out there taking pictures of the

97
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.599
prison and some other band members taking pictures. Goes, hey,

98
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.120
can you take my picture, I'll take yours. Look as

99
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.199
we're fanboying out on shot show.

100
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.479
On the venue. Yeah that's amazing.

101
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.079
Yeah, it's wild. Did you explore the whole prison?

102
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.839
We went into it briefly, but it was like it

103
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.000
was really hot when we were there, like it was

104
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.800
ninety something and it gets humid in Ohio.

105
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.759
Not quite like Florida, but it gets pretty brutal.

106
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.319
So we were like in and out in our ridiculous

107
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.040
stage costume.

108
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.199
So we got out pretty quick.

109
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:32.680
Yeah.

110
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.800
I always like bands are friends of mine. I take

111
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.000
them aside. After here, I'm like, how the fuck do

112
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.040
you dress? Like that in this weather Man. It's like

113
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.000
it shows how dedicated you are to your crab.

114
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.199
Yeah, because you could.

115
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.439
Easily just say screw it, I'm just gonna dress normal.

116
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.120
But we didn't do our job then, I know exactly.

117
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:52.959
That's my point.

118
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.720
Yeah, but that prison is really haunted for real, not

119
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.319
just Blood Prison, but the real pritty legit.

120
00:04:59.439 --> 00:04:59.639
Yeah.

121
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.480
So you know whil and Revis right Wayland.

122
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.319
Yeah yeah, yeah so he I always saw it was

123
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.879
Revis too until he said his name in the interview

124
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.040
and I'm like, oh, I've been fucking.

125
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:13.319
Up his name.

126
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.959
But he told me that they filmed the video in

127
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.439
the one of the torture rooms and he came out

128
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.000
scratched up, bloody, scratched up.

129
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.519
Wow, nobody was there by him.

130
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.800
Yeah, that's crazy, Like he just did he did a

131
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.399
single recently with a man from Mushroomhead who sings on

132
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:34.240
our upcoming record.

133
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.000
Wow, that's pretty cool. And so tell us about your

134
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:39.639
new music.

135
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.639
Yeah, so we have a new album or Ticks and Lallabies,

136
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.839
coming out October tenth on Napalm Records. We just released

137
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.839
our latest single came out this week, which is to

138
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.000
cover of Summertime Sadness.

139
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:49.800
By Na del Ray.

140
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.120
We have two more singles that'll come out with two

141
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.519
more videos, and then the record comes out October tenth.

142
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.720
It's like a birthday president of me because my birthday

143
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:57.839
is October eleventh.

144
00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:59.199
Oh, one day. That's great.

145
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.040
So we usually come to the Tennessee of your Metal

146
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.439
Devastation fest to celebrate. When is it October tenth? I'm

147
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.160
gonna have the eleventh. It's the eleventh. It's your birthday,

148
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:11.199
my birthday.

149
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.480
It's a birthday only one day, right, Yeah, that one

150
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.360
I know about it. Yeah, I'll go to check into

151
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.199
it because normally after Shock is that weekend year. Yeah,

152
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.079
this year is the week before. Okay, I'm gonna have

153
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.639
to check that out. Yeah, that's a cool festival. I

154
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.920
have seen it, but always conflicted with Aftershock. So what

155
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.720
do you feel the experiences here at Bloodstock compared to

156
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:35.199
US festivals?

157
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.920
It is a completely different vibe. I mean, yeah, the

158
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.560
bands here are hungry for new bands and new music

159
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.879
and authenticity and things like that, which is sort of

160
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.839
like a little bit different in Europe than the States,

161
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.879
where seems a little bit more prepackaged.

162
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.120
In the States. Sometimes it can be that way. We're

163
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.720
here it's like, what's new, what's aggressive? Give me more?

164
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.959
And like I saw the tenths for a band blame

165
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.120
at ten third to fold.

166
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:03.720
To the rim on the last day?

167
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.399
Like does that in the States, They're just oh, go

168
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.920
a way to the headliners or on. You know that's

169
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.759
my speed, dude, cause I'm first one to hear, last

170
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.319
one to lead. That's the way a festival should be.

171
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.279
You want to learn the new bands, not just the ones,

172
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.720
you know. Yeah, I love when people say, hey, oh,

173
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.240
my favorite band's not playing now, I don't want to go, dude,

174
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.079
they go to their concert. That's the real show. Go

175
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.519
to festivals to discover new bands.

176
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.399
Absolutely, and the fact that Bloodstock has a tent for

177
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.360
unsigned bands competing here is like that's really special to me.

178
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:40.800
Yeah.

179
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.279
Medal to the Masses is like the most awesome thing.

180
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.079
You know what else, It's awesome.

181
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:47.560
Miss what you got there?

182
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.079
The Sophie langcat, Oh yeah, amazing, like you know the

183
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:51.839
story right.

184
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.879
Absolutely we need that in the US.

185
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.360
Yeah, because all of us have experienced what she did,

186
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.800
except we're still here, bully beat up all that stuff.

187
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:07.399
We need to make it normal to be okay, to

188
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:08.240
not be normal.

189
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.160
Absolutely, and I think I feel like in Europe, I mean,

190
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.279
I think it's maybe leading a little bit with that

191
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.160
right now, but we are extremely honored to play the

192
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.000
Sylphie Lancaster stage because of.

193
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.439
That exactly, and a lot are yeah. So give us

194
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:26.279
all your socials how to connect with you and most importantly,

195
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.439
how to buy your merch, because they can't listen to

196
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:29.920
my show unless they buy your merch.

197
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:31.360
That's a good rule to have, right.

198
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.480
The best way to support the band is on frailband

199
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.480
dot com. Are we spend a lot of time and

200
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.480
energy building an amazing website for everybody night so you

201
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.759
can get normal merch there, but as you also get

202
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.720
like drumheads and symbols and things from tour gear that

203
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.879
we use in the studio, like that kind of stuff.

204
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:46.200
You know.

205
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.039
So we try to dig a little deeper on our

206
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.000
web store and then our socials. Instagram is at frail

207
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.360
band Facebook I think is frail band and that's frail

Michelle Kerr was my press officer for my entire fucking

223
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:34.360
career here in the UK, my entire career with Machine.

224
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.480
She recently passed away and it was a very, very

225
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.200
sad day and I can tell you the reason that

226
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.120
I'm gonna tell this story is because she was family.

227
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:50.039
She was Bloodstock family. She was heavy metal UK family.

228
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.360
