Earlier on in the year I had the pleasure of catching up with My Favourite Nemesis where they played at Uprising as part of their 6 date UK Tour, they are a Finnish metal band with over 2 million streams to date, they have solidified their place in the Finnish metal scene and have an actively growing fanbase worldwide.
They have just released an EP, "We Annihilate I," which has had over 50,000 streams and 200,000 views on YouTube. It has been featured in major media outlets, including REVOLVER Magazine's β6 Best New Songs Right Nowβ article and a review in Metal Hammer.
If you haven't already checked them out then go and do so immediately!!

It seems like a while ago that these guys absolutely ripped M2TM Leicester a new one at Uprising!! Running With Knives (yes, their band name is bloody brilliant) talk about their journey to get to where they are now and what to expect when they play the New Blood stage, Bloodstock Festival Saturday 10th , a little birdie also told me they may even sneak in a new single in their set!
We had a real good chat on the roof of the 02 Leicester and these guys really do know how to have a good laugh, I was in hysterics quite a few times during our chat and so was anybody else listening in!
These midlands based musicians proudly describe themselves as metal with a cutting edge-Clever eh?!!
Be sure to check these guys out and if you are at Bloodstock Festival next weekend then they are an absolute must!!

It's been a couple of weeks since I last released an episode, many festivals have happened over the last few weeks and I wanted to ensure that this band gets your undivided attention. Its alright though, Twisted Torn And Moist is still in the UK USA, Turkey and Global charts!!!
Sunday night Breaking Bands Festival 2024 headliners Stickman closed the festival with a big party as voted for by the BBFest community, they really did not disappoint!
Breaking Bands has a band for everybody and these fun loving disco punks really did leave their mark, rumour has it the confetti is still in places we shall not talk about!!
If you haven't already checked them out then you really need to, because these hard working Stickman really deserve your support!

Rock Against Child Pornography and Abuse RACPA UK Merchandise
Is a registered charity working to give a voice to the silent victims of childhood abuse. The children of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
In a world where β
Children as young as 10 are being groomed by organised gangs and trafficked round the country as sexual commodities...Anyone with a computer and a webcam can create and distribute child pornography across the globe at the touch of a button...
Our aim is to break down that wall of silence, one brick at a time if that is how it must be done. The way we choose to do this is by making a noise, both online and in the real world. Standing up and letting those silenced victims know that they are not alone. That we listened and we heard them. That we will speak up on their behalf, by trying our best to make others understand the long term effects of being a victim of child pornography and sexual abuse, that one way or another an entire lifetime is spent dealing with those effects.
We offer a point of safe first contact for those victims, who may never have been able to talk to anyone about what happened to them, simply done their best to lead their lives as normally as possible. We have a fully qualified counsellor who works with victims in the way best suited to their needs and will do so for as long as the need is there, as well as referring on to other support agencies if required, this is done at no cost to those victims or their families.
Of course it is not just sexual abuse that scars lives and we stand up for ALL victims of abuse, be that physical, mental or emotional, for all those helpless victims who have never been able to tell anyone and for those who have tried and simply not been heard, understood or believed.
So how do we do this?
We attend Rock gigs up and down the country, raising awareness on behalf of the victims and offering a safe and anonymous contact point, as well as offering information on any issues surrounding the subject

This band were arguably one of THE CLEVEREST bands that I've ever had the pleasure of interviewing on my podcast.
It's always an honour to catch up with them and they are definitely a band that are on to BIG things, they have a wonderful fan base and its hardly any surprise because the way they engage and look after them is second to none.
Nico is one of the only singers I know that can reduce the audience to tears in record time and then gets them rocking out straight after, incredible.
Make sure you support his podcast The Tiny Bookcase, I promise you it is very addictive!!

I had the pleasure of chatting to JAYLER at Breaking Bands Festival.
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? They are such lovely, humble guys and I overheard many people say that they were their favourite band of the festival-What an achievement!!
Relatively newish onto the music scene, they have certainly established a place on many festival line ups and recently even supporting Kira Mac on their recent tour.
We chatted about their experience so far and the fun they are having, I could have chatted to them all day but they had to get back to their adoring fans, whose ages ranged from young children to the elderly.
I can't wait to catch up with these guys in a few months to see where they are up to, the Skys the limit and the worlds your oyster, if you haven't already checked these guys out then please do!!

It's ok to have fun. Sometimes we all take ourselves way too seriously, have fun and be kind!
I caught up with Voidwalker exactly a year ago when they won Metal2The Masses @ Uprising.
What a year it has been for them, they released their latest album The Slow Decay in March and if you haven't already checked it out then you absolutely must!
There's so much still to come for this band and its lovely to see their hard work paying off.
As always they were very excited to take part in my general knowledge quiz, these were one of, if not THE cleverest band from Uprising last year, have a listen to see how they got on.

I caught up with Ashen Reach a year or so back and it's so heartwarming to see how well they are doing, Homecoming is still to this day one of my favourite albums... A deffo must for a road trip, but a word of warning...you might struggle to stay within the speed limits.
Hearing them say that our first was one of their all time favourites after this long really is so lovely to hear, what an honour.
Our last chat was pushing nearly 2 hours as I just couldn't get enough of these friendly Liverpudlians.
They are continuing to dominate the grass roots music scene and it's really refreshing to see their name on many a festival line ups... Long may it continue.
This episode comes with a warning though, beware because it will be impossible to keep a straight face whilst we navigate what life is like in our brains.
If you haven't already then go and check them out, truly wonderful musicians and absolutely wholesome human beings.

Wise words from Simon- Frontman of the band Molly Karloff

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- Did you see what I did there haha!
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 fantastic chat and it was great to get to know this new band I discovered!
My mum Sue Embury would even approve of their music and that's a MASSIVE compliment!
Self described as Stoner/Alt Metal / Grunge / Rock this band sound great and are extremely personable and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting to them! Their latest album βSmiles Becoming Teethβ is available to download/buy now!
If your a promoter from a Town or City beginning with a "B" then please help them play your area, Brighton, Bristol & Bournemouth GET THESE GUYS DOWN THERE they REALLLY wanna play!

Isn't it amazing who you come across after a night out, especially after rolling out of my kebab house Taabish on route to "BIG Tesco"- Cheers for the 3 hours free parking and great selection of Lentil Chips!!!
Queen Cult were off to get their late night snacky snacks after supporting Camens at their album launch show up at The Sugarmill Up Hanley Duck, and in true Jo Twisted Torn And Moist style I couldn't resist a quick chat.
I think we covered quite a lot in the few yards we walked and talked en route to Tesco! Cheers to my ever patient partner Alex Alexander Blunt for keeping the kebabs safe!
Queen Cult are from Macclesfield, also known as "Treacle Town" which refers to an historical incident when a horse-drawn wagon overturned and spilt its load of treacle onto the street, after which the poor scooped the treacle off the road.
Opening the year at a sold out Sapphic Sounds in London, 2024 promises to be a huge year for them. In March they hit the road as main support for Fort Hope playing in eight cities across the UK, off the back of releasing their latest single Be Better. Punk rage filled aggression, Be Better marks a real tempo change for the band and with so many directions they can head it certainly opens up many avenues. This is the first single since last yearβs Sneaky Freaque which was co-produced with Stoke legend Sam Bloor, it certainly sets out Queen Cultβs intention for the year.
2024 is going to be a whopper of a year for them, please go and check them out!
