WILL HAGAN AND JOE BARTLETT ON KING 810, NEW MUSIC AND TOCSTOCK: THE REVENGE
In this special episode of the Ragamuffin Music Podcast, James meets Severed Tongues vocalist Will Hagan and drummer Joe Bartlett ahead of their highly anticipated return to TOCstock: The Revenge on Friday 9 October.
The pair revisit the band’s beginnings, Will’s move from guitar to vocals, and the nerves of facing a packed room at Oxford’s tiny Library venue.
They also reflect on debut EP Fragments, how its songs have settled into the live set, and why ‘Dead Space’ points the way forward for their melodic metalcore sound.
With a new single in the works, Will and Joe explain why they’re taking their time to get it right.
There’s plenty to unpack along the way: from BBC Introducing support to the unexpected email that landed them a support slot with King 810.
Closer to home, they discuss what last year’s TOCstock meant to them, why local gigs matter, and the simple pleasure of having the crowd sing along and get stuck into the pit.
Check it out now.
