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 and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flatspot Records","offers":[{"title":"Blue LP | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":50442990092619,"sku":"2198039","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50442995958091,"sku":"2198045","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Tape","offer_id":50442990911819,"sku":"2198043","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50442994254155,"sku":"2198044","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ONLY_ONE_MODE_8882fc5e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727007087"},{"product_id":"ill-be-a-happy-man-take-a-trip","title":"I'll Be A Happy Man \/ Take A Trip","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissued for the first time ever on 7 inch, having previously only ever been on the Take A Trip Pussycat LP, Latin Blues Band - (I'll Be A) Happy Man.

Their debut album \u003cem\u003eOnly One Mode\u003c\/em\u003e was released in 2024; topping the charts, Thornzg out awards, and catapulting the group into a non-stop touring schedule across the world. But in the midst of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSpeed’s unprecedented success, tragedies struck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSpeed’s latest project, \u003cem\u003eAll My Angels\u003c\/em\u003e, is a three-track EP that reflects on the passing of three close friends in recent years. Those events brought intense heartbreak to their community, but over time, they’ve magnified what \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSpeed have always held as their central ethos: To love unconditionally, without fear or regret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years prior to \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll My Angels\u003c\/em\u003e, the band wrestled with their collective grief and life on the road. Moments of mourning took place on tour, in cramped vans driving through foreign countries; sandwiched between Speed performances, on grandiose festival stages in front of 15,000 fans. While the band ticked off accolades and achievements - each more extraordinary than the last - the hurt lingered stubbornly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll My Angels\u003c\/em\u003e, that same collective grief has brought the five friends closer together; emboldening them to live life with greater clarity, and providing a more informed perspective on what’s really worth holding onto. Lyrics on the EP address the sobering realities of loss, and include musings on mortality - more vulnerable and raw than ever before. The title track ends with a direct statement of intent; “All my angels, I can’t give up.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll My Angels\u003c\/em\u003e further explores what Speed can contribute to modern hardcore beyond breakdowns and sing-a-longs. Influenced by forward-thinking New York hardcore legends like District 9, Crown of Thornz and Fahrenheit 451; the EP sees the band hitting deeper pockets of groove, experimenting with synths and samples, and delivering cathartic hooks that make it their most soul-baring effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than ever, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSpeed is a band that’s being guided by their lived experiences, from eye-opening triumphs to the most harrowing losses. In any case, they’ll continue to move forward with love and conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flatspot Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Centurion Signed | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":55793164157259,"sku":"R2862-3815","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Centurion | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":53344864600395,"sku":"R2862-7861","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Clear Smoke Black","offer_id":53344864633163,"sku":"R2862-4569","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":53344864665931,"sku":"R2862-9844","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tape","offer_id":53344864698699,"sku":"R2862-3889","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Beer Marble","offer_id":53480514453835,"sku":"R2862-5557","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/SpeedCover.jpg?v=1757378068"},{"product_id":"gang-called-speed-jp","title":"Gang Called Speed","description":"\u003cp\u003eGang Called Speed is the debut extended play (EP) by Australian hardcore punk band Speed, released on 24 June 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flatspot Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Iridescent White w\/ Blue Vinyl","offer_id":53461589360971,"sku":"R6732-3177","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_ba59c6af-1d90-4e4c-a4ee-79241ad3c47f.jpg?v=1758699464"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/speed.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
