“The experience of hardcore – the scale of it, the enormity – is just mind-boggling right now,” Speed vocalist Jem Siow told Kerrang! last month. "The spaces we get pushed into consistently catch us by surprise. If you’d told me when I was a kid, or even before COVID, that we’d be playing at these huge festivals or during Fashion Week in Paris, I’d probably just have told you to get fucked! Respectfully, though. Respectfully.”
