Speed

Since their inception in 2019, hardcore five-piece SPEED has evolved from a DIY Australian band to a global powerhouse. Their 2024 debut album ONLY ONE MODE catapulted the group into the spotlight; but in the midst of SPEED’s unprecedented success, tragedies struck. SPEED’s latest project, ALL MY ANGELS, 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 SPEED have always held as their central ethos: To love unconditionally, without fear or regret. In the years prior to ALL MY ANGELS, the band wrestled with their collective grief and life on the road. On ALL MY ANGELS, that same collective grief has brought the five friends closer together; emboldening them to live life with greater clarity. Lyrics on the EP address the sobering realities of loss, more vulnerable and raw than ever before. Musically, ALL MY ANGELS further explores what SPEED can contribute to modern hardcore; hitting deeper pockets of groove, experimenting with synths and samples, and delivering cathartic hooks that make it their most soul-baring effort. More than ever, SPEED 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.
