1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.
We are Scratch One Grub from the valleys of South Wales. We create music mostly of the heavy variety, and speaking of variety, that is exactly what our music is about. We refuse to restrict ourselves to one particular sound. You can expect death metal, symphonic and synth elements, groove, and progressive metal. With access to the software we have and all these sounds at our disposal, why wouldn’t we use as much of it as possible?
2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2026 campaign? Have you had previous experience? Or is this your first time?
This is our first time being part of something like this! After all, this particular band has only been performing live for a year. Not only do we want the opportunity to perform at Bloodstock, we are also very much looking forward to playing alongside amazing bands and getting to know the staff who run the event. We personally know previous participants, including a winning band, who have given us great pieces of advice that have done nothing but enhance our excitement for the event!
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
It is paramount. One of our biggest and most common pieces of advice that we give to aspiring musicians/bands, is to attend local shows. Not only are you supporting your local scene, you are are also networking with bands, venue staff and local music lovers with their own portfolios/credentials. Not only is it great fun, but it's very beneficial and a great learning experience.
4. We have a slightly different set up this year with Heats/Quarters/Semis taking place at Bunkhouse/Green Rooms. Have you played the venue before or is this your first time? Are you excited to get on those stages?
We have performed at Green Rooms a handful of times and each time, it has been a lot of fun! As for Bunkhouse, Lewis (drummer) has performed there with other bands and has nothing but good things to say about that venue also!
5. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?
Very similar to what we answered with previously. We are honoured to be a part of such a talented roster while establishing connections with the staff, venues and the other bands on the bill. That and it's always exciting to have guaranteed gigs booked in!
6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?
It's likely safe to say that it is every metal bands bucket list venue. Getting to the final is an honour in itself but at this early stage in our career, it is everything right now.
7. 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?
House Of Hosts, Excursia, Syndicate, Disrupt The Continuum, Manumit. These are bands we have already established connections with. Their talents and personalities are equally great!
8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band?
Everything desired from one band
