and of course iron maidens Eddie

there on was the main charictor for all

there albums witch changed in each

album and involved no Eddie was the

same. iron maiden will be at download

festival this year i wonder which eddie

we will see this year as there gig is

based on the seven suns of seven suns

album going back to some old school

tunes.

Based in Cheltenham, Broken Jaw first came together in mid-2012. Despite various

members of the band having played together previously this new teaming brought

with it a sound unlike anything that has gone before it. The band has experienced

rapid success, gigging all over the country at many venues, most notably

supporting international legends Breed 77. Along their way Broken Jaw have

accumulated a vast and ever growing, loyal fan base all from different genres.

Nutzie, the exuberant and charismatic vocalist, has been described as “Punk with

venom”. Unforgettable screams and melodic singing is the signature style of this

animated front man.

Lee brings the decidedly metal aspect to this multifaceted band; Lee draws on his

thrash roots and combines his distinct heavy sound with harmonious choruses.

Miles brings the funk with his bouncy bass lines and intensely addictive slap bass

adding a unique dimension to the group.

Tommy finishes off the line up with a mix of fun and yet aggressively, hard hitting

beats. His masterful drumming compliments all the members’ performances whilst

defining what Broken Jaw has come to mean; energetic, unique and attitude filled

punk metal.

These guys’ love to have fun and are always willing to have a laugh on and off of

the stage using their music as a powerful tool to convey what life is really all

about…having fun! If you get the chance then you should definitely check them out

at a venue near you?

How did the band come to be and where did it all

begin?

(Tommy Gammon/Drums) Well, Nutzie sent me a

message asking if I was still drumming, from that

we were back and forth talking about genres and

the possible members.

(Miles Rushworth/Bass) It all started about two

years ago for me when Nutzie asked me if I wanted

to start a band with him. After a short hunt to

find some other suitable musicians we found Lee

and Gammon, who decided to get on board and

bring some epic riffs and monster beats to the

mix.

(Lee Stockwell/Guitar) Me and Tom have known

each other for years, we went to the same

school and had been in bands together before. I

met Nutzie at a mutual friend’s house party one

night but had seen him and heard of him before.

We got talking and he said that him and Tom were

looking to start a band, and asked if I wanted to

play guitar, as Tom had mentioned me in a previous

conversation between them. After a few more

conversations with him, he said that his

cousin Miles played bass and that he was looking

at maybe bringing us all together seems as they

had been trying to form a band. I already had a

few ideas written down guitar-wise, so by the time

our first practice ended, we had a complete song

minus lyrics which you may now know as “Where I

Stand”. Everything just seemed to click into

place after that and now we are all here.

(Nutzie Shelley/Vocals) After leaving Create

Chaos I was always looking at trying to start a

band where the music felt more suited for my

vocal style and attitude was a better fit. I asked

Miles (who also used to play in Create Chaos and

is my cousin as well) if he would like to start up a

band and how we would like it to be? After

sending a few messages here and there and

talking to various people I got passed on

Gammons details, who seemed more than happy at

the prospect of playing the type of music I had in

mind. He then mentioned that he knew of a few

guitarists and that he had one in mind that he used

to work with. It was left at that and just by sheer

coincidence me and Lee ended up meeting at a

house party one evening, got talking about the

band I had been trying to set up and I suggested he

should come jam with us some time as we hadn’t

even had a first practice between me Gammon and

Miles? He seemed eager and we all went from

there really. Although, the first practice wasn’t

exactly text book lol.

What has been your greatest achievement as a band?

(TG) Supporting Breed77 is probably the biggest thing for

me, not long after we were offered our first 2 headlining

shows. It's been weird, being the opening band and

working our way up so quickly!

(LS) Staying together this long??? Ha ha but in all

seriousness, in my opinion, supporting Breed 77 which was

the fifth time we had ever played live together. And they

gave us a shout out during their set!!

(MR) For me aswel The Breed 77 Gig

(NS) To be honest, I’d say that there have been many

achievements in such the small amount of time of us being

together. Be it just making a track from scratch or

supporting a well-known band that we look up to. We have

after all only just been all together for our first year

and that to me is a pretty damn big achievement in itself. I

guess that I like to look at what’s to come rather than

what has been and I hope, we will continue to progress

the way that we are too big and better things.

What can the fans expect to see from your band at metal

mash?

(MR) Loud and Powerful!!!!

(TG) Huge amounts of energy. Hands down that is our

biggest aspect. The riffs are just chaos.

(LS) Well... Me, Nutzie and Miles all have wireless kits so

we are always in and out of the crowds. We also have

alot banter between songs with the fans as well as each

other, which is something I don't see a lot of bands do.

Not just talking y'know.

(NS) They need to expect the unexpected as I never know

how any gig might go to be honest lol. All I know is that

we love to play and that’s just what we do.

Who are your inspirations as artists?

(NS) I draw inspiration from all over the

shop and I have soooooooo many

influences, which I have because of so

many people and things in my life e.g. My

friends, family and a lot of the 90’s / 00’s

music TV, which is a shame we don’t really

have around anymore, as that was amazing

how you could flick from one channel

with Pearl Jam on and the flick over and

see say System Of A Down, Sex Pistols,

Drowning pool, Spineshank, The Clash.

Just look at it now??? WTF??? Lol.

(TG) For me its bands like Motörhead, The

Who, Mötley Crüe and Led Zeppelin for

drummers.

(LS)It all boils down to Megadeth and

Metallica man, For Whom The Bell Tolls

was the song that made me wanna play

guitar in the first place, then I heard about

Megadeth and they just blew me away. In

terms of song writing, pretty much

everything from Bob Dylan to Bury

Tomorrow, which I guess makes us unique

as we don't just listen to one genre of

music.

(MR) I would personally say my inspirations

as an artist would be from bassists that

have achieved in giving the music they

contribute to create an extra dimension of

sound. Tweaking their gear to get an epic

tone and style (Chris Wolstenholme, Muse

- Fieldy, Korn), and plenty of slap for good

measure (Flea, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Why

sit in the background when you can make

the most of your instrument and break the

generic.

What's next for the band?

(TG) We just finished recording our first EP, now were playing the waiting game for mixing and

mastering to be finished and then we can reveal a release date.

(MR) Release date will be announced soon so watch this space.

(LS) But in the meantime, we'll be playing shows when and wherever we can!!

(NS) As the guys said, Ep’s in the progress of being finished off and also lots of great gigs

coming up. We hope that we can get around as much as possible really, so keep your ears to the

ground and eyes glued to our Facebook page for info?
