1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.
We are The Ginger Lizards, a 5 piece blues driven thrash band, or as we have come to call it Boomer metal. We're a hammer made of 80s metal nostalgia, bringing music full of driving power and crushing riffs that are “heavier than an incel's ball sack.”
2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2025 campaign? Have you had previous experience? Or is this your first time?
We participated last year and didn't get through the first round, but we said we would be back and here we are bringing a years worth of development as a band and some new songs from our up coming album. Last year was a great night, we caught up with some guys we haven't played with in a while, and met and saw some awesome new (to us) bands.
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
No Local scene, no new bands its that simple. The guys who play the main stage at Bloodstock didn't get there by going to the organisers saying “were really good honest” the local scene is the starting blocks where a band cuts its teeth and gathers the experience and builds the reputation needed to get to that point.
4. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?
Its a chance to get out and meet new people within our area, see new bands, and another opportunity to get up on the stage and show everyone who we are and what we do. There are going to be people in that crowd who haven't heard of us and we cant wait to show them what we have got.
5. What would playing a Sold Out Bloodstock Festival mean to you?
We played to a venue of 100+ people a few months ago, granted yes they were there for the headliners but still we haven't felt that kind of energy from a crowd before, would love to know what that feeling is like for a sold out festival.
6. We encourage all the bands in M2TM to try and check out the other bands, who are you most looking forward to? Who should your fans also try to catch?
Our group looks incredible, we just hope were on before Struggler because our bassist will be in a pit and we need him not to knacker himself out, cant wait to see them though. Mudlarker too, there sound is just massive and we cant wait to hear it live. I haven't been able to find out much about Words of Affirmation but they have played with some awesome bands, so looking forward to seeing them.
Outside our group we have Bleed the Fifth in Heat 3 who we played with last year and just absolutely stomped, probably be back down for that one, heat 3 looks like an absolute banger.
Over in the Bristol M2TM we have 2 bands that we are good friends with in Pyrogaric and Buried in Bermuda who if your over that way you should definitely go check out that heat, two different bands but excellent at what they do.
