I work for an independent music shop and I’m manager of the guitar department. I’m terrified of losing our store- if anyone is buying music gear over lockdown please DM me and I’ll try and do you the best deal!
Last night’s show was fab but I didn’t enjoy the harassment I had while on stage for my number/ comments being shouted etc. Please don’t do it, it’s not cool and it’s not fair 🖤
I first went to download when I was 13 and I can’t say with enough weight how much that weekend changed my entire life. Download is where I had my first beer, I even had my FIRST KISS there hahaha. To play it tomorrow means more than anyone can ever know
I’ve had 2 people force a hug and then kiss my head/ neck at the last two shows. I love talking to people after playing and I’m grateful of the support for our band- but please don’t put me in awkward situations where I’m uncomfortable 🖤
It’s come to my attention that someone (not my boyfriend, who’s mortified ppl thought it was) shouted something about my tits during our set. Idk in what context but it’s not cool so don’t do that at another show of ours please! Cheers 🖤
Today I got to go into the shop, pick up a Kerrang and find my band’s face in it!! Cried. I’ve read this magazine for 10 years and this really is a dream coming true ❤️❤️❤️
My stupid face is on the cover of Metal Hammer! It’s surreal to be next to the likes of Ozzy, Megadeth, Ghost, Judas Priest etc!
Had to take a pic next to KFC’s facilities! 😭❤️
As a teen, I had to absolutely battle to be taken seriously as a girl who played guitar. I feel so happy to be in my 20’s surrounded by women and other minorities who are having their voices finally heard in music. These are inspiring as fuck times 🖤
Is this real life?! 🤯. I’m so excited to announce that I am now part of the Official Jackson Family! Having used Jackson guitars since I was 14, being asked to work with them is an insane moment for me. I’m so very grateful for this opportunity!
Thank you so much to
@JacksonGuitars
for sending me one of their new SL3 models! I’ve never had an American guitar ever so to have a guitar like this is an absolute dream! Thankkkkk you!!! 🖤
Mogg joined a racist group on Facebook to mug em using a picture of us on tour in Germany 2018. It’s my new favourite thing because the gammons actually believe it
Very surreal moment going into HMV Bullring and seeing our record. As a kid I discovered so many of my favourite bands through searching around the metal section. V mad 🥹
Today feels euphoric. For the first time in my whole life, every band on the lineup has a woman in, there is a lady in charge of sound and the rep is also a lady. I’m surrounded by powerful, hardworking inspirational women 🖤
Last night was absolutely unreal. Thank you so much

@MarkDuaneMorton
for making it such an incredible experience. I owe this band everything 🖤
back in England and I genuinely can’t think of anything redeeming about this country other than it giving birth to heavy metal and what we have left of the NHS
Today, our EP ‘Profound Morality’ is OUT! Thank you so much for the love shown so far to this band. It’s an absolute fucking dream to have the support we do and we are so so lucky. We hope you enjoy! ❤️
Today we leave to play some shows with
@Architectsuk
🥲. There are so many times recently where life feels like a really, really good dream. Feeling very grateful and lucky

There is still so much work to be done to make the heavy music scene a safe and inclusive place for everyone to be a part of. Sucks when your heroes turn out to be shit heads ☹️
I’m not upset for my personal experience with this, I’m upset at the bigger picture and I feel responsible to share things like this that happen. Music is a space for everyone to be a part of and I don’t want anyone to feel novelised or not welcome etc
The other issue I have with this is I don’t want to upset people by reacting negatively to them. I understand that people don’t intend to be harmful but all I want is equal respect for everyone who plays on stage. Last night I was made to feel like a novelty
Today we have to say goodbye to my gorgeous baby Rosie. 17 years of having the best dog on the planet just didn’t seem long enough. We grew up together and we went through everything together, what an incredible soul. I love her more than words can say & will miss her forever ❤️
my dad texting me he’s getting a new phone so he can take decent photos of us at download has sent me into fuckin tears 😢😢😢. I do not deserve my parents
Incredibly excited to share my involvement in
@JacksonGuitars
’s Virtuoso Series campaign! This track was absolutely crazy to be a part of! Watch here:
seeing how many friends and the community in general talk about how without Slipknot they wouldn’t be so invested in heavy music now resonates with me so deeply
Two hours til the end of the show but this is the first guitar show I’ve worked in 5 years where I’ve had ZERO sexist comments! Not one!! Change is happening ❤️😭
I get emotional just thinking about what a powerhouse Eva Spence is. She paved the way for so many. I am in awe of everything that woman is and she is my hero. People and bands like us couldn’t exist without her strength and I am eternally grateful of
