"Back at the Rising stage we see another band that are going places - and all of them good. Collateral - previously known as the Angelo Tristan Band - are fronted by charismatic singer Angelo Tristan. Well I never. Looking like the love child of Steve Tyler and Jack Sparrow, Tristan and his band of rock and rollers look like they would fit comfortably into the main stage. As it is, the four piece showed their talent by making their way to the Rising stage by winning a 40 band competition. Guitarist Todd Winger plays a Jackson guitar through Orange amps gving the band an almost Metal sound although they are clearly rockers. Ones to watch." That was our Collateral Ramblin' Man Fair review from back in July 2019, and after their set we caught up with bass guitarist Jack Bentley Smith and lead singer Angelo Tristan for an interview which is today's Podcast Of The Day.
