In the next part of our Download Festival preview interviews, we speak to Adam Masters from The First.
With powerful melodies, vicious guitar lines and memorable choruses, Cambridgeshire rockers The First are making their Download debut on the Red Bull Studio stage.
Having just unleashed their new single, ‘Love. Regret. Forgive. Forget.’ a fiery rock onslaught with monstrous riffs and soaring vocals, the quintet are preparing to release their new album (‘Take Courage’) and Download marks the beginning of what is sure to be a busy few months for the Kings Lynn band.
