Ructions are a fast melodic hardcore band from Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. Comprising Matt (guitar), Connor (drums), Steve (bass), Janek (guitar) and Johnny (vocals), they play songs born of the contemporary political moment, with killer riffs and huge choruses.

The band’s first single, “Design Accident”, is a soaring take-down of free world leaders’ faux-interests in climate change and resulting environmental disasters. The future is anchored to their ignorance.
