Band: Taste of Blood
From: Salt Lake City, Utah
Their formation story:
(Michael Collins, vocals): "We’re all homies that have played in other bands and played shows together for the last like 12 years, and we wanted to do a band where it was all pretty much just our group of friends!"
Their sound in their own words:
"Honestly, we just wanted to be a heavy band with sick riffs that’s fun to watch live. Just mosh music really. Our biggest influences are Bad Seed, Trapped Under Ice, and Merauder, bands we all really grew up loving and listening to."
Latest release info:
"Our newest release is an EP called 456 referring to playing dice. I wrote the lyrics about gambling obviously, but also real life stuff. As soon as we finished our demo, we started writing this almost immediately and it all just kinda came together. Shoutout to Justin from Field of Flames and Nick from Knife Point for being a part of it."
Future plans:
"We got a couple shows booked here in SLC, and one in Arizona, but we really wanna start hitting the road more. We are currently planning to write an LP, hopefully like 8 songs or so. Just want to play as many shows with my friends as possible all across the country or even world who knows."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Our guitar player and bass player both play in a band called Mask, shoutout them always! Other great bands are Recidivst, xforever warx, Two Winters Only, Sutures, sewn shut, and Absolved. Salt Lake has a strong group of locals right now that deserve more love."
