Bonded By Blood Interview
Thrash Metal was revived in 2008 with the ‘Thrashing Like A Maniac’ European tour taking the headlines.
Bonded By Blood joined Gama Bomb and Sworn Amongst for this Thrash off and came out of it with their heads held high.
Alex Gosman met singer Aladdin at the London show to find out a little about what makes them tick.
So, I gather from your name that you’re big Exodus fans, then? How did you first discover Exodus and thrash metal in general?
Exodus was one of the first Thrash bands I had ever listened to. It was by mistake really. I was in a Crossover band at the time. Some guy had a CD played that looked like mine i turned it on expecting to listen to some D.R.I and I ended up listening to Exodus it was love at first listen. I was in Middle school at the time so was around 13 yrs of age. That was my introduction to thrash I’m sure the rest of the band has their own stories.
Your album out on Earache is called ‘Feed The Beast’ – any story behind the title?
The cover portrays it all. It’s all one big metaphor. The beast is the city that takes you in and spits you back out and you as a human instead of helping society out you keep feeding it.
Is there a good thrash scene in Pomona/California in general? And have you ever crossed the border to play some shows in Mexico? If so, what was that like?
Pomona has never really had a great thrash or metal scene in general. Pomona had a good punk scene when i was growing up here. If you wanted to hear some thrash bands you had to get in your car drive 30 minutes west out of Pomona to LA backyard shows. California now has a real good thrash scene with really good bands in it. We have never had the pleasure to go south of the border. One day soon we will.
What inspires you lyrically? And do you think that we, as the human race, are ultimately doomed?
Lyrically Its mostly all about human experiences. Shit you go through on a daily life. I honestly do believe we are doomed and no one is doing anything about it.
Is Carlos surname really Cerveza?! And what is BBB’s favourite alcoholic beverage of choice?
Haha no Carlos surname is Regalado. They just call him that cus hes always drinking. There are 2 fave drinks, when we are in the mood to get fucked up fast it’s Bacardi 151, when its beer drinking its Mexican beer Corona.
What makes you all happy? And what pisses you off?
Skateboarding makes me happy. Some people in the human race piss me off.
What are your plans for the near future as a band?
Tour Tour Tour and tour some more. Write new songs for the 2nd album and that’s about it.

SkreinTax
On the back of their previous single Breathe, SkreinTax – the combined forces of Skrein and Dr Syntax – are back with the title track from their album Scene Stealers and a B-Side featuring rapper and why-wasn’t-he-nominated-for-a-Bafta Adulthood star Plan B.
Scene Stealers, which you can hear by clicking the player above, sees the two rappers ride of a beat by Foreign Beggar Dag Nabbit with choice cuts from DJ IQ. The duo pound the listener with punchline after punchline showing off their respective skills on the mic and give a perfect example of what to expect from the rest of the album [which is out now!].
The aforementioned B-Side, Last Dayz is a non album track, so it’s well worth picking up. Y’know to support UK hip hop n’that.

New Found Glory
New Found Glory have been through the wringer. Less-than-ideal situations with record labels and mixed reactions to last LP ‘Coming Home‘ cannot have been the easiest things to deal with. But rather than letting these factors beat them down, the band seem to have been spurred on to forge a new relationship with Epitaph Records.
The signs are also good for the new material itself. The first song to reach the public domain from forthcoming album ‘Not Without A Fight‘ is titled ‘Listen To Your Friends‘ and it’s back to the classic anthemic New Found Glory pop-punk style. Singalong choruses, punchy melodic guitars and heartfelt lyrics with the subject matter being somewhat akin to ‘My Friends Over You’. This is perfect fuel for the band’s energetic live show which transcended all expectations last year with an enthusiastic and packed-out crowd singing back every word of every song at the considerably large Brixton Academy a few months ago.
Having gone a little too far in the mellow direction with ‘Coming Home‘ and then experimenting with a second ‘From The Screen To Your Stereo‘ and Bridge 9-released EP which featured new material and covers of hardcore tracks, New Found Glory are back to what they do best – writing modern pop-punk classics.
NFG’s sixth original album ‘Not Without A Fight‘ is released via Epitaph Records on 9th March and I’d put good money on New Found Glory winning this particular fight.
