AH: What can we expect from your set?
Jamie: Plenty of energy, huge riffs, gratuitous aggression and inappropriate behaviour. And head banging…did I mention the head banging?
AH: What other bands are you looking forward to seeing?
Jamie: Brutality Will Prevail, Hang The Bastard, Empress, Bury Tomorrow, Bleed From Within….the list goes on!
AH: What are your memories of previous Download Festivals?
Jamie: Most of them involve hayfever, mud, a splitting headache and lots of Jager….the rest are a little blurry….that’s a good thing.
AH: Do you have anything else you’d like to say?
Jamie: That we’re massively honoured to play the festival and we are looking forward to seeing you all in the pit!
