About Speed: Band Background and Relevance
Speed has emerged as one of Australian hardcore’s most compelling acts since their formation in Sydney, combining raw intensity with technical precision. Their rapid ascent through the hardcore scene has positioned them as a must-see live act ahead of their Costa Rica performance.
Origins and Rise in the Hardcore Scene
Speed formed in Sydney and quickly established themselves within the Australian hardcore community through their aggressive sound and uncompromising energy. The band’s approach embodies the “only one mode” philosophy—full throttle from start to finish.
Their breakthrough came with partnership with Flatspot Records, which released their Gang Called Speed EP in June 2022. This release catapulted them into international recognition within the hardcore community. The EP showcased their ability to blend Sydney’s hardcore traditions with modern intensity.
Speed’s reputation grew through relentless touring and word-of-mouth within the scene. They’ve become known for their explosive live performances that capture the raw essence of speed and hardcore. Their connection with Last Ride Records further solidified their presence in the global hardcore network.
Notable Releases and Achievements
The Gang Called Speed EP marked Speed’s most significant release to date, establishing their sonic identity and attracting attention from hardcore fans worldwide. Since then, they’ve become one of the most discussed bands in the genre.
Their touring schedule has included major festival appearances, including slots at Coachella in 2025. You’ll find Speed sharing stages with respected acts like Gorilla Biscuits, Whispers, and Haywire across various North American dates. Their North American headline tours have demonstrated their drawing power beyond Australia.
The band has maintained momentum through consistent releases and an active touring presence that keeps them relevant in the competitive hardcore landscape.
Key Influences in Speed’s Music
Speed draws from a diverse palette of aggressive music that extends beyond traditional hardcore boundaries. You’ll hear echoes of nu-metal pioneers like Korn and System of a Down in their groove-heavy riffs and rhythmic complexity. The band channels the raw energy of classic hardcore while incorporating metalcore elements reminiscent of Bring Me the Horizon and Underoath’s heavier periods.
Their connection to Flatspot Records positions them within a broader movement of contemporary hardcore that values authenticity and underground credibility. The Australian hardcore scene itself has cultivated a distinct approach—combining American hardcore’s directness with metal’s technical precision. Speed’s music reflects this fusion, delivering the confrontational vocals associated with bands like AFI’s hardcore roots while maintaining the bounce and groove found in P.O.D.’s crossover appeal.
