In 2026 UK punk will be celebrating 50 years. In 1976 the far right were growing strong. Politics was full of corruption. News papers spread lies and hate. Riots were common as huge sections of society felt marginalised and forgotten. The political and social background of 2026 share many common features with the 1970s. Again we see the rise of the far right – but now more organised than ever, with huge global backers such as Trump and Musk and algorithms that promote and monetise far right content. Fingers of blame pointing towards foreigners stoking fear. Corrupt politicians lying and protecting their own. Cost of living crisis that highlights the rich getting richer; more billionaires than at any point in history; and the poor getting poorer.

Forged in anger, solidarity and decades of shared experience, Grail Guard announce the release of their debut album Still No Future, out via TNSrecords. You can pre-order your copy now from our webstore. The first 40 vinyl orders will receive a limited edition ‘Fuck You, Fascist Scum’ mug and a F*rage face mask so you can practice your milkshake throwing at home.

Grail Guard formed in 2022, simmering through multiple lockdowns and boiling over in an era marked by government incompetence, corruption and tens of thousands of avoidable deaths. Built on friendships and musical collaborations spanning more than twenty years, the band emerged from the Midlands hardcore punk scene with a clear purpose and an uncompromising voice.

Since forming, Grail Guard have become one of the hardest-working bands in UK punk, racking up over 100 shows in just three years. They blew us away when we first saw them in Manchester and booked them straight away for Manchester Punk Festival. They have continued to build on their reputation rooted in ferocious live performances and songs that refuse to look away from uncomfortable truths.

With 2026 marking 50 years of UK punk, Still No Future draws a stark and deliberate line between the 1970s and today. The Sex Pistols shouted “No Future” in 1977 and with this album Grail Guard scream there is STILL NO FUTURE as many are facing the same traumatic experiences as those of the last fifty years. Anger and rage are two well trodden paths in punk. These paths are used to navigate out of troubled landscapes and encourage new voices to emerge. Those voices continue to call out hypocrisy, and greed and shout for change. Protest has been the beating heart of punk and is needed now more than ever. Young people of today still face many challenges that are the same as fifty years ago. Racism. Sexism. Xenophobia. Mass unemployment. Poor working conditions. Misogyny. Transphobia.

Grail Guard’s frontman and lyricist, Riaz grew up as a British, Indian Muslim in a working class midlands town. Regularly facing calls from racists to ‘go back to your own country’ he has been part of DIY punk, socialist, anti-fascist and anti-racism movements since he was a child in the late 90’s.

Marching for change, fighting for a better future, Riaz is seeing his three daughters face the same prejudice as him thanks to the continued rise of Britain First, Reform and the wide reaching anti-immigration sentiment that floods our screens daily.

Still No Future is rage.

Still No Future is anger.

It reflects the current political, social and economic climate but could have easily existed at the very start of punk: a timeless album that hopes to bring about positive change at a particularly negative point in history. The country needs a change. The world needs people to stand up and shout “FUCK YOU, FASCIST SCUM”.
