Hey cool news i didn’t share here - I sing (playing fast and loose with that term) in the Hardcore band Circumvent. Come to a show in Bristol if you’re around and book us elsewhere. Can’t wait to get this onstage. Nervous, but excited 🏄🏻‍♂️

Almost accidentally, Speed became the face of Hardcore across the world, and luckily for us, nobody is more fitting to become the genre’s voice. 👟
Read my assessment of how the band became the most exemplary example of what Hardcore culture is below 🔪❤️🖤
