1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band. (Promote yourselves)
Hi My name is Kyle, I play Guitar and Vocals for a Post hardcore trio band called ICANTDIE. Other members are Lloyd Griffiths on Bass and Adam Kerslake on Drums
We hail from the Bridgend/Barry area of South Wales and have been going since 2019. We’ve played with a ton of awesome bands over the years and some cool venues in England and Wales plus released our lates EP “ERRORS” back in 2023. Were currently at work with new material and we like to describe our music and style as chaotic with a hint of mischief.
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?
Well……we participated two years ago in Swansea, and we got through to the next round but lost to a single vote……..A SINGLE VOTE??!!! Controversy indeed!!
So we decided we didn’t want to go out like that when the next chance arose. Granted we missed last years, but we were still reeling from the loss…..you understand right? Course you do. Right?
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
It’s incredibly important! Were still part of it. The crazy thing about being a post hardcore band in a land of punk, Death metal and indie rock is that no one truly knows how to book us.So we get booked under the craziest lineups and we still have fun. Thats how important the local scene is. You never expect the sort of crowd your playing to and if you give it your all, it will support you.
4. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?
To WIN!! Were not effing about here! Of course we love the bands that we share a stage with and some in other rounds of this competition, the community is great and we all have a great laugh when a show is played, merch is sold and new music is heard.
But we all know we want the same thing, to play Bloodstock, that's a hell of a thing to put on your CV.
5. What would playing a Sold Out Bloodstock Festival mean to you?
It would definitely make our year thats for sure. We’d love an opportunity to prove ourselves in front of bigger crowds. We have fun every show we play and thats the most important thing, if you’re not having fun then there’s no point to carry on, and when we play, we sell merch, we meet new people, sometimes gain die hard fans. Its the opportunity to play a fest as big as bloodstock that would put us to the test and who wouldn’t want that?
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?
Definitely check out Nothing Minor. They’ve come from strength to strength after just wanting to become a band to releasing music soon. We love those guys and they deserve the biggest audience possible.
