Bullet for My Valentine

One of the biggest British metal bands of the 21st centuryWelsh quartet Bullet For My Valentine straddle metal, punk and emo in a manner not hugely dissimilar to their Bridgend brethren Funeral For A Friend.

The band formed out of the ashes of Jeff Killed John, who were on the verge of recording their debut when their bassist’s departure brought proceedings to a swift end.

Childhood friends and former Jeff Killed John bandmates Matthew Tuck, Michael Padget and Michael Thomas teamed up with another friend Jason James to form Bullet For My Valentine in 2003.
