Interview with Bleed The Fifth – Heat #2, M2TM, The Bunkhouse, Swansea 30th March 2024
1. Let’s start with introductions. Who is who and what does each person do in the band?
Hello! We have Jordan, Morgan, Lewis and Tom in Bleed the Fifth. Jordan is the vocalist, Morgan plays bass and does backing vocals, Lewis plays rhythm, and Tom is on the drums.
2. Where are you from and how long have you been together?
We’re all from South Wales, but different parts. We’ve been together for a little over 3 years, but the first year and half was writing. The page was officially created in April 2022!
3. Describe your music in five words.
Metal for the new age.
4. What prompted you to apply to be part of Metal to the Masses – South Wales?
Some of our friends’ bands have been a part of the M2TM competition and have had a blast doing so! So, we thought we’d apply and be a part of the community!
5. If you have played Metal to the Masses before, tell us about your previous experiences and importantly, why you’ve returned!
We haven’t and we’re extremely looking forward to playing.
6. Bloodstock is a big festival – have you attended the festival in the past? If so, what would you say are the best things about the weekend?
We have attended Bloodstock which is also what prompted us to apply. The atmosphere is outstanding, and again, the community behind the festival is just outstanding.
7. Apart from Metal to the Masses, what do you have planned for 2024?
We have a new single/video out on March 29th and plans for a new E.P being released at the tail end of the year. We have a few gigs lined up in England – including No Hate Festival in September in aid of the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.
8. What can we expect from you in your heat?
Something very special, with a lot of energy, metal, and beer.
9. And what are you expecting in your heat and journey through the competition?
We hope to get our music out there to a bigger audience and make a bit of a wave in the competition. Winning would also be very nice!
10. Finally, where can people find details of the band – promote your socials here!
