Describe your music. What makes you unique?
We’re a hybrid of many genres of metal filled with pure energy.
What’s your live show like? Why are people going to watch you instead of another band?

Once seen someone getting a blowjob in the mosh pit at Bloodstock.
What drink do you throw back to get yourself fired up before going on stage?
We’re Devonshire boys so have a scrumpy cider.
