It’s new for a hardcore band to be big, unprecedented for one from Australia. Big in two
ways—for hardcore kids from Sydney, playing good shows worldwide, proudly representing
their scene. And second, for any band from the scene playing hard music, crossing over
hard into the larger world. It’s quick work to find SPEED doing both: headlining shows in
England, New York, Japan, globally, turning in blazing sets at Sound & Fury and This Is
Hardcore, among other massive heavy music festivals. Seven-figure viewed videos—their
set at S&F, short films for their songs—and tunes headlining video game soundtracks.
Famous folks wearing their jerseys, people new to the scene showing up to more gigs.
SPEED know that because of these global crossover moments, they might be some
people’s first hardcore band; the idea is that they’ll get introduced not only to SPEED, but
also to the scene and the people behind it. Find SPEED, and you’ll find Sydney hardcore; find a band making hard music, find more energy back home.
