\"BleedFromWithin\"<\/p>\n

Often is the case that when you have been creating music for nearly 20 years that there is a sense it can start to feel like a bit of a job and the love and passion can sometimes waver.\u00a0But if you were to say that to Bleed From Within<\/strong> vocalist Scott Kennedy he would tell you a different story.<\/p>\n

Formed in 2005, the metalcore band from Glasgow have been producing a brutal sound ever since. But things for the five-piece began long before the formation of the band as Kennedy explains to Already Heard.\u00a0\u201cWe started this band because we are all best friends,\u201d<\/em> explains the band’s frontman. \u201cI mean we have been hanging out since I was about nine-years-old and I\u2019m now 30 and we are all still the best of friends.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were younger we all used to get together and hang out and play and listen to music, we weren\u2019t the type of kids who would be going outside and playing football.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Kennedy goes on to say that it is the friendship that comes first even if one day, and hopefully it doesn\u2019t happen, the band were to break up.\u00a0He added: \u201cThere was a time when we weren\u2019t really getting that many gigs outside of Scotland when I thought that the band was going to break up, but even if we did we\u2019d probably still end up hanging out and playing music together.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Something which has aided the band this time around, releasing their fourth full-length record ‘Era’<\/em>, has been the addition of new blood.\u00a0After guitarist Martyn Evans left the band, it meant there was a hole for the band to fill. Enter Steven Jones, who seems to have taken to the role like a duck to water.\u00a0\u201cI was actually the only one in the band that knew Steven fairly well,\u201d<\/em> Kennedy explains.\u00a0\u201cHe also plays guitar in a band called From Sorrow to Serenity, and we have played a few shows with them in the past and they actually asked me to do guest vocals on one of their records.<\/em><\/p>\n
