Grand Collapse are by far one of the most interesting bands to come out of the UK hardcore scene nowadays. This is their third album and it will melt your face off. These guys play a mixture of old school UK school of hardcore with Ripcord coming to mind delivering thrash hardcore punk attacks with blistering all out war speed and anger, but also besides speed and d beat there are raw guitars, angry screaming vocals and gang backing sing along parts with some street core and moshing parts brought into the song structures for good measure. Lyrics are political and personal, dealing with clergy, animal rights, police state and similar merry themes that are actual today in our world. This is the kind of bands that are so relevant in the scene today, because punk hardcore became somehow safe and not a threat anymore and not a scream of anger and rebellion, but only party. Fortunately for us, bands like Grand Collapse are still carrying the torch.
