1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.
Hey! we’re Blindburn, nu-gaze quintet hailing from Cardiff/Swansea. We’ve been jamming together for just pushing 6 months now and things have come together pretty smoothly for us in the short time we’ve been a collective. We released our debut single “in the skin” back in December and have big plans ongoing through this year and the future.
We wanted to participate in M2TM as we believe the opportunities, friendships and connections that arise through being part of the competition are second to none. The friendly competition and final outcome is exciting to be a part of, even outside of striving to win.
The local scene is the MOST important thing as a young band. All of us hold the local music scene close to our hearts and know strongly that without it, the bands we know and love would never have had a platform to grow from in the first place. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SCENE! and if you don’t have one, MAKE ONEEEEEE!
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’re performing M2TM West at The Bunkhouse, our debut headline show was at Bunk and we were overwhelmed with the support we received. Our vocalist hailing from Swansea has been attending Bunk for numerous years, and was even a part of the opening of the business several years ago, holding a lot of love for the place & the people that run the show. It was a fantastic feeling getting to play their stage, and we are equally as excited to return.
5. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?
Honestly, we haven’t necessarily set expectations for being a part of M2TM. The opportunity in itself and to just simply take part is more than we could ask for, but if we are to set any expectations- then they would simply be expectations for ourselves, to get better, play tighter, cause more chaos, have more fun. We know in confidence the opportunity here with M2TM will grant us all of these and more.
This is a tough one, like previously mentioned there is so much strong talent in this year’s competition that we would be at every show of every heat if it were possible, to name a few bands we’d say; Inscape, Paroxism, Soul Fracture, Mould & Virtue In Vain! support everyone as much as you can!
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?
We wanted to participate in M2TM as we believe the opportunities, friendships and connections that arise through being part of the competition are second to none. The friendly competition and final outcome is exciting to be a part of, even outside of striving to win.
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
The local scene is the MOST important thing as a young band. All of us hold the local music scene close to our hearts and know strongly that without it, the bands we know and love would never have had a platform to grow from in the first place. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SCENE! and if you don’t have one, MAKE ONEEEEEE!

6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?
To reach the final for us would be an insane feeling. As such a young band surrounded by so much talent through the competition it would be an honour to get such an opportunity. We only hope to do our best, and whether we make it to the final or not we will be rooting for those that do. Everyone on this competition deserves it.
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?
This is a tough one, like previously mentioned there is so much strong talent in this year’s competition that we would be at every show of every heat if it were possible, to name a few bands we’d say; Inscape, Paroxism, Soul Fracture, Mould & Virtue In Vain! support everyone as much as you can!
8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band?
