#RoadToBOA2018 – Untamed

As ever, we’re going to try and cover every single Jäger, New Blood and SOPHIE stage band before Bloodstock kicks off on August 9th. Your chance to check them out and start planning which bands to get there early for!

Trust us when we tell you that this is bound to result in some frustrating clashes because, as ever, there are some great bands on these three stages.

Our thanks to all the bands for taking the time out to answer our questions!

Untamed – Jägermeister Stage, Friday

Simple things first – where are you guys from?

We’re from Peterborough and Huntingdon.

How long have you been playing together as a band?

The band has been going about 18 years, now!

Where does the name of the band come from?

It was named after a song we’d written in the early days.

Describe your music. What makes you unique?

We’re primarily a classic heavy metal band, but we take everyone’s individual influences and adapt our music to that, so it’s got a bit of power metal, thrash, death metal, prog metal, hair metal…we just like heavy music with plenty of fast double kick and guitar solos!

What’s your live show like? Why are people going to watch you instead of another band?

We enjoy what we do immensely, and we treat our live shows exactly that way. We have a lot of fun and hope to project that onto the crowd. If you’re having a good time, chances are whoever’s watching you will be as well. We pride ourselves on tightness, which I think goes a long way. If you’re not tight, it just sounds messy and people don’t want to listen to a messy band!

Have you been to Bloodstock before? What did you think?

Darren’s been to Bloodstock before and this will be his 3rd. He loves it. I think Scott’s been before as well, but it’s a first for the rest of us! Exciting times!

Did you enter M2TM thinking you could win it? Which region did you win, or did you come through other channels?

No, we didn’t enter this year. There were a lot of great bands though, so it would’ve been tough!

What sort of setlist can we expect?

We’ve got 3 albums including our latest, so we’ll be playing stuff from each album. Mostly from Chaos from the Fall (our latest release). Expect lots of twin guitar harmonies, big choruses, guitar solos and get ready to sing along!

Which other bands do you most hope you’re not squished up next to so you can see them play?

Darren will definitely be gutted to miss either Emperor or Onslaught. As long as people are enjoying it though, we’re just happy to play.

What are you working on at the moment?

Currently writing some bits and bobs for the next album, and plenty more gigs!

What’s the wildest thing you’ve seen or done at a live show?

We were driving back from a gig end ended up in the middle of a safari park! It was pitch black until we caught all these glowing eyes staring at us! Foot down!

Jäger, Hobgoblin Ale, Red Bull, Kingstone Press Cider, Kaltenberg Beer or Bulleit Bourbon? And, yes, we’ll be counting all the votes!

Oooooh, that’s tough! We all like different things, so Jäger, hobgoblin Ale and Bulleit Bourbon
