Speed + Spy

SPEED and hardcore are two words that have become synonymous on a global scale. The Sydney, Australia based band have staked claim on the genre through an unwavering ethos built on inclusivity, authenticity and conviction; a chaotic live show that tours nonstop across the globe, and records that have reverberated through the underground and beyond.

Having built a buzz within Sydney since 2019, their GANG CALLED SPEED EP took them international in 2022, spearheaded by the rousing single ‘Not That Nice’. Their debut album ONLY ONE MODE dropped in 2024 and further intensified their heavy-handed take on hardcore, debuting at #1 on the Australian ARIA album charts and winning the ARIA Award for ‘Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Release’; and gaining worldwide praise from publications like The Fader, Complex and Kerrang.

The album also saw SPEED upscale their relentless global touring schedule, including a landmark hometown show at The Enmore Theatre. In 2025, SPEED became the first Australian hardcore band in history to perform at the flagship Coachella festival. After the release of the punchy mini EP ALL MY ANGELS in 2025, further touring took SPEED across the UK, Europe, Canada and the United States once again. On top of dozens of headline shows, they performed alongside seasoned heavyweights like Turnstile, Madball, Knocked Loose and Gorilla Biscuits; while also championing upcoming local bands and spotlighting the next generation of hardcore across the globe.
