Speed

Winners of this year's J Awards will be announced later this month.

Sydney's SPEED have taken over hardcore with the mission statement: 'Is this good for Australian hardcore?' Their debut LP offers a resounding 'yes.'

SPEED dropped off the Download festival line-up in protest against Barclays providing financial services to defence companies supplying Israel this week.

Last month, 25% of the line-up of the UK showcase festival The Great Escape boycotted the event due to its ties with Barclays.

They’ll be joined by High Vis (UK), Pain Of Truth (US) and Fuse (SG), as well as local guests TBA.

The trailblazing hardcore band’s hotly anticipated debut album, ‘ONLY ONE MODE’, will be out in July.

'ONLY ONE MODE' follows SPEED's debut EP, 'Gang Called Speed', released in 2022.

Travis Barker showed his support for the Sydney hardcore punk band after meeting them just a few days prior.

Karnivool, Make Them Suffer, Thy Art Is Murder and more Aussies are set to take over Download Festival stages.
