1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.
We’re Thawn, a Bridgend based band looking to write great music and find our own form of success. We consist of Miles Davis (drums) Dylan Norris (vocals and guitar) and Kate Roberts (bass). We started in January of last year and have since played a host of gigs including Green Rooms and more recently Black Cat, and have released two tracks on Spotify. We love all sorts of music and like to consider ourselves pretty eclectic, but our style leans more towards the grunge and metal side. This year we’re looking to really expand our following and we hope to gain a small army and take over a historical castle.
Our socials are:

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?
This is our first time participating in Metal 2 the Masses, and whatever happens, we just enjoy playing and are happy to get out there and make connections. Being realistic, it feels us though we haven’t amassed enough of a following to get us to the big stage, but prove us wrong!
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
We absolutely love being part of a local music community in Bridgend, although more specifically in Maesteg where 2/3 members are based, there isn’t much of a scene at the moment, which is really disappointing because we’ve heard many a story of what it was like back in the day, if anything we’d just be happy to restore a bit of life to that scene.
4. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?
Well of course we would adore to play Bloodstock, and trust us we’d make full use of that spotlight, with that opportunity it could open us up to making a tangible career of something we’re so passionate about. However, even removed from that, we’re happy to see other bands play and get involved in the scene a bit more, really placing our mark as the year goes on.
5. What would playing a Sold Out Bloodstock Festival mean to you?
The world, really. The idea of playing in front of hundreds of people on a big stage with other major bands and indulging in all of our musical fantasies is picturesque. We’d develop ourselves as artists, giving what we have to say back to the world. It feels completely detached from reality, but it lets us sleep at night believing good music eventually gets the attention it deserves, even in such a cruel and apathetic industry. Daniel Johnston would be a good example of this.
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?
After listening to some of Mudlarker’s stuff, we’d say they’re worth checking out! The vocals we think are the standout with some nice atmospheric guitar work at points!
