Interviews With The Shunkos By Matt Bladen
The Shunkos: We are the shunkos. A five piece garage/punk band from Port Talbot, South Wales. Our guitarist: Lewys Van Graham, drummer: Ollie Ryan, bassist: Keilan Colossus Ryan, vocals: Mal Thomas and Rhys Bloodstone
MoM: How have the last year(s) been for the band? What have you been up too?
The Shunkos: We started in lockdown because we couldn’t go to karaoke. We wrote our first original song within the first week, and have been writing since. We’ve recently recorded a 5 song EP which is set to be released very soon. Plenty to look forward to!
MoM: What experience have you had with Bloodstock/M2TM in the past?
The Shunkos: Our good mates, harbour way have played a few heats and we wanted a piece of the action!
MoM: How are you feeling entering the M2TM format back as it should be? Playing in front of a crowd again?
The Shunkos: If we couldn’t play in front of a crowd, we wouldn’t play at all! That’s what it’s all about
MoM: What would it mean to you to play Bloodstock?
The Shunkos: It would mean as much as a lump of cheese to a starving mouse!
MoM: Tell us two truths and a lie about the band?
The Shunkos:
1. We derived our name from a local term which means ‘Scruff’ or ‘bogan’.
2. Our guitarist is a relative of the legendary Eddie Van Halen.
3. The grandfather of our bassist and drummer was a member of iconic Welsh psych-rock group, MAN
MoM: Finally give us a four word rundown of what to expect?
The Shunkos: Beer, noise, mullets, moustaches
