Twisted, Torn And Moist

Send us Fan Mail The runes spoke, and LN answered. A high-octane, mythology-drenched Viking Metal experience, forged on the Northern shores and built for those who crave sound with soul. Fans of Amon Amarth, Ghost, and Heilung — this one’s for you. We saw her at Breaking Bands and true to its purpose, we came home with a new favourite band.  This was my daughter Marinas real taste of music and one...

Send us Fan Mail Struck/Down are a five-piece groove metal band hailing from the heart of Kent. Blending their love of classic groove metal with modern heaviness, they aren’t afraid to pull from a wide range of genres to create a sound that’s entirely their own. Their influences span icons like Black Sabbath, Machine Head, Black Label Society, Gojira, and Lamb of God. Formed in 2014 as a hard rock...

Send us Fan Mail Some of you may have noticed I've been absent for a while now....Well...I have a new recruit in the Twisted, Torn And Moist camp in the form of my daughter Marina and Breaking Bands was her first festival at 3 months old (well 2 months technically as she was a preemie) but how cool and I can't wait to show her the photos and share the memories made when she's older!...

Send us Fan Mail I'm sure you'll all agree when I say that it's extremely important to encourage the younger generation and to get them involved as much as possible in the music scene...Well, this kid is one of the coolest on the scene, most of you probably recognise him from busting his moves on the dance floor with his air guitar or on the barrier at gigs rocking out with his infl...

Send us Fan Mail I've known Gricey for many years, let's rewind 14 years back to when he signed for Leek Town, a familiar face down at what was then called Harrison Park (now known as the F.Ball Stadium. Tim over the many years has developed such a wonderful fan base, perhaps it's because he is personable and makes time for you, no matter how old his fans are. Thank you to each and...

Send us Fan Mail I've been saving the very best until last. I had the pleasure of catching up with my buddies Big Dan, Little Dan and Kathryn at Uprising, we had a damn good laugh! You can always rely on the Dans to mark their territory and that's exactly what they did by drawing a huge penis on my interview table haha! These are 3 of the nicest people you'll ever come across in the...

Send us Fan Mail I caught up with these guys at Breaking Bands Festival and despite me thinking they were named after somebody named Michaela who likes permanent brew they soon put me right, they gave me their CD and it was then the penny dropped that they weren't named after Michaela after all! They are currently storming the UK Blues scene and when I caught up with them earlier in the year...

Send us Fan Mail I had the pleasure of chatting to JAYLER at Breaking Bands.  JAYLER are a hard hitting energetic young rock band from the Midlands that produce a full on energetic rock set that always leaves the crowd screaming for more. It took me ages to get to these guys, I had to contend with their never ending merch queue and plethora of fans flocking round them. Hardly surprising though? Th...

Send us Fan Mail I had the pleasure chatting to Jukebox Monkey, or Jukebox Monks as I affectionately referred to them as. Sludgefest was awesome and I'm so glad I didn't end up in The Dog House by the end of the night!! We chatted about them being accident prone, being cold because they are from "Daaaaaan South" Great tattoo's and comparing members to Feral Cats! We had a...

Send us Fan Mail Last year my best friend Kevin was fitted with a pacemaker after having multiple blackout episodes, thanks to the fantastic work of our NHS he is still with us today. We all know someone who has lost someone, is living with a heart condition, not everyone knows they have one until they have a check up so its important to keep up with routine GP visits and if you have felt a little...

Send us Fan Mail Sludgefest Stafford headliners Eschalon really did not disappoint! Simon Garrod and his band of brothers ALWAYS put on such a wonderful show wherever they play. The wealth of experience they have between them really comes to fruition during each performance, their wealth of knowledge that they have gained over the years they are not afraid to share and encourage newer, younger ban...

Send us Fan Mail Hailing from the Scottish Borders are a band called Razor Sharp Death Blizzard! Forged from the molten steel remnants of RIDGEBACK and SWELLYBELLYS🔥This band come with a warning though, they contain copious amounts of PUNK ETHOS and METAL RIFFS throughout and if you get too close they will melt your face off, these guys certainly know how to bring the party! I had the pleasure of...

Send us Fan Mail I had the pleasure of chatting to Epimetheus, a Bristol based Doom/Shoegaze band.  If you've listened to them then you'd definitely understand this compliment that was given to them “You guys make an awful lot of noise for a three piece” I couldn't believe the way their music transported me to a different dimension, I forgot about everything else in the world and wa...

Send us Fan Mail I had the pleasure of chatting to this wonderful West Midlands based band, Mystiek at the M2TM heat #2 at The Underground, Stoke. What a ride it has been for these guys, not only was it a debut performance for one of the new band members, it was also a big gig in terms of prizes, for those of you not familiar with M2TM, its competition where bands battle it out with one end produc...

Send us Fan Mail The beauty of hometown gigs is that you will always find a band that you've not come across before, prime example here with Smother.hc It's not very often that me and my manager Tammy go out together but we had a fantastic night covering the M2TM heat at The Underground. Little did they know that less than 3 hours later, these guys would have won their heat. So many tale...
