Bloodstock Bound: Change Persona

Bloodstock Bound: Change Persona

As Bloodstock gets closer, we delve deep into the line up to find out more about some of the bands playing the New Blood and EMP stages at this years event.

Today we chat with Change Persona

Please introduce yourselves.

We’re CJ (Vocals/Lead Guitar), George (Rythm Guitar and backing vocals), Owyn (Bass and backing vocals), and Gabriella (Drums) – otherwise known as Change Persona!

How would you describe your sound?

Bloodstock described us as “Melodic Punkcore” which we’ve never been called before… but we love that and will be using that description going forwards!

How did you land your spot on the Bloodstock bill?

We sent in a submission to Bloodstock not expecting to hear anything back but we received an email around March time telling us that we’ve been accepted to play. We were absolutely gobsmacked and are so honoured!

What does playing at Bloodstock mean to you?

It means everything to us! We managed to get on the Takeover stage at Download last year and we were really keen for that kind of experience to not be a one time flash in the pan. To follow that up with Bloodstock this year is insane. To see our name on the Bloodstock bill alongside bands we grew up listening to is a real pinch yourself moment. We’re so excited!

What day are you performing?

Friday

What other bands are you looking forward to watching at Bloodstock this year?

We’d love to see Dream State! All of us have been big fans of them from day one. Of Mice & Men, Lamb of God and Wrex to name a few others.

Playing the EMP Stage is just the first steppingstone in a bands journey. What’s next in your plans for world domination?

We’ve recently finished recording our new EP and now are sorting out the PR side of things, ready for release hopefully later this year!

Are you camping with the fans? Which campsite are you heading for?

We’re actually being total princesses and have booked an air BnB! Although how we get back to it each night after a few beers is a conundrum we are still trying to solve!

You’ve gotta keep hydrated at Bloodstock, what is your drink of choice for the weekend?

Connor – A very crisp H2O, for my hydro homies!
Gabriella – sticking to just water before the show.. I’m a rubbish drummer drunk.
George – A couple of beers… but not too many! I’ve made that mistake before!
Owyn – At least 4 crates of beer. San Miguel preferably of course 😉

See you at Bloodstock in a few weeks!

See you there!
