Bloodstock Bound: Stitched
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 Stitched
Please introduce yourselves.
We’re STITCHED, a groove hardcore band from the Black Country. We’re a bunch of mates that somehow turned making angry noise into getting invited to places like Bloodstock.
How would you describe your sound?
It’s heavy, groove-driven hardcore with a bit of metalcore, disco and slam thrown in. We grew up on old Slipknot and all that sort of stuff, so it all ends up in the mix somewhere.
How did you land your spot on the Bloodstock bill?
We just say yes to everything. We’ll talk to anyone and play anywhere, and every now and then it leads to something really cool like this.
What does playing at Bloodstock mean to you?
It’s massive for us. Bloodstock’s local, we’ve been coming here for years with our mates watching bands, and now we’re getting to play it ourselves. It’s pretty surreal.
For people who’ve never seen you live, what can they expect at Bloodstock?
A lot of energy, a lot of noise, and hopefully you’ll hear something you like. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we definitely take playing live seriously.
What day are you performing?
Sunday, on the EMP Stage. Come watch us have a dance and punch your mates in the pit
What other bands are you looking forward to watching at Bloodstock this year?
We’re buzzing to be on the same day as Graphic Nature. Those guys are great, so we’re looking forward to catching their set.
Playing the EMP Stage is just the first steppingstone in a bands journey. What’s next in your plans for world domination?
We’re just happy ticking places off as we go. Whether it’s a tiny venue in the middle of nowhere or a country in Europe we definitely didn’t learn about at school, we’re up for it.
Are you camping with the fans? Which campsite are you heading for?
Absolutely. If you see us wandering about, come and say hello. We’re always up for a chat.
You’ve gotta keep hydrated at Bloodstock, what is your drink of choice for the weekend?
A good IPA. Probably more than one.
See you at Bloodstock in a few weeks!
See you there. Come and catch us on the EMP Stage on Sunday.
