BLOODY SHIELD MADE MY WEEK

MUSIC Apr 2026

i like to drink pepsi max and listen to bloody shield

i feel like i'm so late to bloody shield. picture the scene. i'm sat in the office, pepsi max in hand. discovery playlist on. lots of great music playing. then 3 by bloody shield comes on. lads. when i tell you i had to stop what i was doing. took a minute. went on a walk. what is he cooking, and why is it one of the best songs i've heard in ages?

the deeper i dove into his discography, the more my intrigue grew. bloody shield has something special. i spoke yesterday about the uk being fertile ground for new stars, and bloody shield feels as if he's at the cusp of that stardom. his sound is so current, stylistically similar to the cloud-influenced sound that shot esdeekid and rico ace to the top of the musical world, yet distinct enough to stand entirely separately. the drums. the monstrous production. the energy. it's all there. another colourful addition to the growing tapestry of trailblazing artists dotted across the country. beautiful to see scottish artists continuing to blossom on the world stage.

bloody shield is a star in waiting. he was recently part of the nike x victory lap tour, opening for jawnino. featured on vlap too. shelled it. been performing with post party. these are all beautiful things. glasgow's next star is upon us. i'm so excited. i might've been late, but i'm onboard now. bloody shield made my week. go on son.

go support him.
