Sydney group Speed are more than just your typical tough-guy band.
First, they’re new global ambassadors of Australian hardcore. More importantly — to both me personally and a whole swath of people who’ve grown up at odds with their own cultural stereotype — they’re the voice of representation as a band with three Asians at the front.
Their lyrics attack topics like Asian hate and they preach safe, inclusive places for all at their shows. Fuck math club, see you in the pit.
