As work starts on our 2nd album, we have a chat about how it got started. We discuss the pro and cons of albums over E.Ps, and the taste of alcohol free beer. Celebrity mentions in this week's episode include, Nigel Mansell, Adele, and Michelle Keegan.

This week we have a recap of our first gig in almost 2 years! This is Not an Uprising, at the Firebug, Leicester was a fantastic event, and we tell you all about it. How Donna ended up getting mad, how Matty had a small panic, and how one walk to hotel included so much!

This week we're getting all giddy about going to Leicester, and the awesome Uprising festival. Excitement is off the charts as we prepare to play our first gig in almost 2 years, and you can hear about all the details here! Also in this episode, Dave fixes global warning but has a worrying premonition about getting on stage. Matty tells us why he's been walking to work every day, and Nick's football predictions!

A quick catch up to let you know where we've been, what we've been doing and what's to come. Plenty of exciting news coming very soon. Also on this episode, Dave sings Country, Matty performs some Am-Dram, and we find out how Donna got on at Bloodstock.

We're back! After having a week off due to Dave's isolation, the Bloodcast returns. On this episode we talk about why we love playing shows. It's all about the travel, meeting new people, accidently stealing Boss Keloid's gear, Dundee strip clubs, and Snoop Dogg's side hustle as a sandwich artist. We pay tribute to Grand Central in Manchester, tell tales from Sancfest, and and unnecessary trips to Leicester.

We also discuss winning an Olympic gold medal with our own Matty Lee, Olympic skateboarding, and World Drowning prevention day!

What songs, and when to play them. This week we discuss how to construct a set list to knock the crowd's socks off! Find out how we keep the show flowing, making on stage alterations, and Matty Lee joins the space race.

Sometimes things just don't go right! This week we look back at when our music careers have resembled the great Spinal Tap! Weird venues, strange crowds, and even an abandoned cardigan! Gigs are never boring, and with these stories you'll see why.

That strange period between booking the gig, and playing it.

From organising gear to finding parking, booking hotels, and even working out how to get to the venue!

When things go well, when things go bad, and when Nick goes Ice skating, it's all in today's episode.

In this week's episode we talk about the initial approach of booking a gig. How to sell yourselves as a band, how to reach out to promoters, and the pitfalls of enthusiasm over professionalism.

This week we talk about what inspired us to become musicians. Are all bass players failed guitarists? Do drummers accidentally end up behind a kit? What happens when you forget your guitar pick at your first ever gig, and what made Donna step to the front of the stage.We take you all the way back to the early 90s as we talk through our early experiences honing our craft, first bands and first gigs, and how we pushed ourselves to progress.
