    SPEED have announced the ONLY ONE MODE Australian tour for August. The Sydney hardcore heroes will hit stages in Brisbane, 
    Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth from August 22 - September 1. The tour is to celebrate the release of their debut full-length album ONLY ONE MODE.

    The tour will see SPEED joined by High Vis (UK), Pain Of Truth (USA) and FUSE (SG).  The announcement comes hot off the heels of the new single The First Step. The second taste of their forthcoming debut album ONLY ONE MODE, The First Step sees the band seamlessly incorporate a flute-driven breakdown into a punishing dose of NY-style hardcore, adding new flavour to what is already shaping up to be one of the best debut albums in modern hardcore. 

    The First Step arrived accompanied by a video shot by Thomas Elliott and Jack Rudder showing the Sydney crew's energetic live performance style, giving vocalist Jem Siow the chance to showcase his talent as a flautist to an unsuspecting world. 



    Lyrically The First Step features Siow opening up on feelings of marginalization he has experienced as an Asian-Australian.  As always the message is aggressive, defiant and yet life-affirming, staying true to the elements that have made SPEED one of the most talked about bands of the last few years.  ONLY ONE MODE will be released on July 12 via Last Ride Records and Flatspot Records

    SPEED and hardcore are two words that have become synonymous on a global scale. The band have staked a claim on the genre through exhilarating live performances, epic music videos, and staying true to themselves. ONLY ONE MODE, a phrase coined by the group, declares the title of their first full-length album, a debut that exemplifies the band’s growth while still delivering the SPEED ethos. This is what they’re about: Hardcore, played hard, played fast, “for us, by us”—explicit, immediate, definitive—hinting at all the crucial bands that have come before them.
