Twisted, Torn And Moist

Send us Fan Mail I spoke to Parilla Uk , THE ORIGINAL PARILLA !!  It's still not clear what the man behind the mask looks like, I spoke to their lead singer  Dani who introduced me into his world of aesthetics! Once we cleared the elephant in the room up, the current issue they are facing having another band with the same name, we decided that the world would be a far better place if people d...

Send us Fan Mail To celebrate my 100th episode, I have chosen to release my interview with Dakesis at SOS Festival !

Send us Fan Mail I thought it was only fair to quiz 3 of the nicest men in the music industry, Martin Short, Jason Samuels and David Wilson. They all took part in my general knowledge quiz, up in the depths of the press area at SOS Festival . Often reviewers, togs, interviewers, promoters go unnoticed in the depths of our venues and I thought it was only right to include them and to give them a bi...

Send us Fan Mail I'm known for my ability to conduct interviews almost anywhere and this one was no exception. I had the honour of being invited to SOS Festiva l held at Whittles At Tokyo, Oldham . Not only is this a fantastic venue it is also surrounded with a plethora of reasonably priced car parks to choose from, great for those driving and/or worrying about where to park! I had the absolu...

Send us Fan Mail I caught up with Midnite City at Eleven on the eve of their album launch " In At The Deep End ". Every show is special, but this one in particular is even more so as it's Josh "Tabbie" Williams hometown show. For those of you that don't know, Josh is one of my long serving childhood best friends and every time I watch him perform, I'm really prou...

Send us Fan Mail Part of interviewing bands is picking your opportunity wisely, this is exactly what I did with Star Circus. Fresh from the stage at Eleven, they gave me the nod to join them in their dressing room which was situated just behind the stage. However there was just one problem, Midnite City were on in 15 minutes so we had to organise our time and use it accordingly! Crammed into the t...

Send us Fan Mail I caught up with Craig McBrearty of GUTLOCKER and we chatted about his Chloroform video that went viral back in the day, we chatted about the music scene and GUTLOCKER , what they have planned.  Craig tells me about his trick to get people to watch the bands and how to stop them from congregating outside the venue. He talks about their tour and life on the road! Listen to our chat...

Send us Fan Mail Hailing from Manchester  40,000 Leagues   certainly know how to grab your attention.   If they aren't repeatedly punching you in the face with their face breaking riffs then they most likely chatting to their ever faithful fans. If you are into your metal bands but haven't come across these yet, you need to give your head a wobble and ask yourself why?! Most recently som...

Send us Fan Mail Spectral Darkwave are a symphonic death, doom metal band! Their performance takes you on a journey to outer space and beyond.

We chatted at Breaking Bands   about their band name and where it came from, their i...

Send us Fan Mail What better place to interview the guys in Voltstorm , than on a hill overlooking Stoke Prior,  the venue that very kindly hosts Breaking Bands Festival year after year!! Formed in 2019 these musicians certainly know their way around the scene having played in many other bands over the years, although a relatively new project they are definitely a band not to be missed.  I know pe...

Send us Fan Mail There's not many bands around that can celebrate their 35th anniversary on the music circuit,however Paradise Lost can! Formed in 1988, hailing from Halifax who knew that way back when, whilst in class studying Paradise Lost the poem together they would later become pioneers of the death-doom genre and paving the way for the Gothic-Metal movement! I caught up with Aaron Aedy...

Kindness is few and far between these days but having seen these guys play many times it...

Send us Fan Mail We often see a festival advertised but don't actually know much about them.  I had the pleasure of catching up with Harry White who is the Managing Director of Hammerdown Festival . Taking place at The Factory, Worthing on 29th & 30th July Hammerdown is a festival not to be missed. What makes this festival even more special, it is made up of bands the Harry likes and if y...

Send us Fan Mail "You look like a children's colouring book!!" This was my opening compliment to this elusive band, I have been trying to track them down for AGES to host them on my podcast. Well finally on a nice warm, sunny day at Breaking Bands Festival I managed to hold them captive for half an hour whilst we talked all things Crostpaths , they talked me through the name which h...

Send us Fan Mail I caught up with Recall The Remains a few months back, If you listened to our interview then you'll be familiar with the vulgar nature in which we talk about the hill near where they hail from and the legendary drawing of a candle. I'm so honoured to have had the opportunity to catch up with them again at UPRISING 2023 ! I'm telling you now....THESE ARE GONNA BE MAS...

Send us Fan Mail Contrary to popular belief this band are not in fact named after that total wipe out game at the end of the tv programme Gladiators "The Eliminator"! In fact I would tell you where they got their name from but that would spoil the fun! I thought at one point whilst I was chatting to these guys, they were going to recreate the famous Adam Gregory moment where he fell back...
