British punk trio GRADE 2 return swinging with Talk About It, their third and most blisteringly realized album, out on Tim Armstrong's storied Hellcat Records. It's an 11-track surge that fuses classic punk's bare-knuckle conviction with the disillusionment, identity crises, and quiet rage of Gen-Z - delivered by three Isle of Wight lifers who've been sharpening their edge since they first bashed out covers at 14. Jack Chatfield, Jacob Hull, and Sid Ryan have spent thirteen years turning raw instinct into a signature roar, and Talk About It captures them at full velocity.
Their blistering track, "Cut Throat," distills their ethos: fierce guitars, punishing rhythm, and a narrative of clawing forward while the world seems hellbent on pulling you under. "It's about a world that takes more than it gives," the band says--and that tension becomes fuel, a rallying cry for anyone navigating a landscape that feels colder by the day.
With Talk About It, GRADE 2 don't just revive punk's urgency - they embody it.
