About Us

"Where the fuck have all the riffs gone?"

That's what Matt Tuck wants to know. He and his fellow Bridgend band-mates have been listening to the radio, going to shows, and - for the last 7 years - answering that often-asked question with their own metal-clad minstrelsy known as 'Bullet for My Valentine' - one of the most intense acts to come out of Wales since mega-groups Funeral for a Friend and Lostprophets put that outer-rim of the musical galaxy on the map. But make no mistake: geography is where their similarities end. Chalk it up to teenage years spent worshipping the likes of Metallica, Testament, and the almighty Iron Maiden.

"We were all kind of bewildered by how huge those bands got," continues Tuck. "It wasn't jealousy, but we didn't see a reason why that couldn't be us."

In fact, there is no reason, because this fearsome foursome's supercharged riffage and soaring vocalsharken back to a time in the UK when how good you were had to do with how well you played - something they're convinced is lost on too many of today's flash-in-the-pan upstarts.

"We're proud to say that there isn't a single indie band in South Wales ," says guitarist

Michael 'Padge 'Paget. "I don't see how a band can stand there for 40minutes and just sing bollocks. What's the point? It's about putting on a show!"

And that attitude's already won Bullet' a coveted support-slot with American metal-beasts Chimaira on their recent stint in the UK, a tour gave them an unforgettable taste of life on the road, not to mention a bit of intimate time with each-other.

"There was the four of us stuffed in the back of arider," laughs Tuck. "We didn't mind though, we're completely committed to this, even if that did mean knowing each other a little better than we should."
