Metal To The Masses 2022 Interviews: Risperidrone (Heat #1 01.04.22)

Interview With Risperidrone By Matt Bladen

MoM: Introduce yourselves/remind everyone who you guys are. Band name, members, style etc?

Risperidrone: We're a 4 piece band with members scattered across Cardiff and Bath, formerly known as Junk DNA we reformed in 2020 as Risperidrone with the line up of Elliot Murphy on vocals, Wigg Grant on guitar, Rob Edwards on bass and Tom Kirkby on drums. We play groovy hard rock with doom/stoner rock influences and riffs that slap harder than Will Smith on Oscar night

MoM: How have the last year(s) been for the band? What have you been up to? 

Risperidrone: The pandemic has been a bit different for us than most bands, as we formed in 2020 to record an EP in the depths of lockdown. In a way it kind of helped to have the time to focus on writing a bunch of material but we've all really missed playing live, and now that things are slowly getting back to normal we're hyped to start gigging

MoM: What experience have you had with Bloodstock/M2TM in the past? 

Risperidrone: We actually played M2TM way back in 2016 as Junk DNA, it was a really good atmosphere there and it's awesome to be taking part in it again after such a long time

MoM: How are you feeling entering the M2TM format back as it should be? 

Risperidrone: It's the first gig in years for all of us so to put it bluntly, shitting ourselves. But in a good way

MoM: What would it mean to you to play Bloodstock? 

Risperidrone: It would be amazing to get the chance to play at a festival as big as Bloodstock, it would be absolutely surreal to be able to say we're playing at the same festival as some of the huge names that are there this year

MoM: Tell us two truths and one lie about the band? 

Risperidrone:

1. Nobody in the band could use a plectrum until a few months ago
2. We were all born and raised in Cardiff
3. Half of our songs on the EP were recorded before they were ever played by the full band

MoM: Finally give us a four word rundown of what to expect? 

Risperidrone:
Doom, headbanging, sweat and beers
