IF IT BLEEDS


If It Bleeds are a five-piece hardcore-infused metal band from Belfast. The came together in mid-2023 to draft up ideas and have been having fun ever since.
Starting off strong with a debut show in the Limelight Belfast, If It Bleeds soon followed up with a string of notable support slots, i.e. Survivalist, Gama Bomb and Party Cannon.
If It Bleeds are ambitious, and would love the chance to represent Belfast city, on the world stage of heavy music. The debut single We Can Kill It, release on all platforms July 2nd, and is currently available to pre-save via Linktree. There is also YouTube video premiere linked in the same location.
"Playing a large open air metal fest has been a dream of ours from day one, as we're sure is the case for any forthcoming metal act. To have this dream materialise in front of us, is surreal! Sharing a festival line up with huge names who have inspired us through the years, was unexpected being a band of under 2 years, but what a milestone it is! With this we now have a new focus and feel greatly that a new bar has been set for us. We are so excited to bring a Belfast Hardcore attitude to Bloodstock this year, and even more excited to make new friends in Metal. Special thanks to James and all those who support him over at the Distortion Project, their passion for local music is inspiring"
