SPEED have had a whirlwind year, from performing across the globe to playing Coachella to just wrapping up a US tour supporting Turnstile. Having gained prominence with 2024 full-length ONLY ONE MODE, today SPEED unleash the three song ALL MY ANGELS EP available through Flatspot Records and Last Ride Records. Alongside it comes an intense performance-style video for title track “ALL MY ANGELS,” which was jointly directed by Jack Rudder, Thomas Elliott, and SPEED. The video features friends and family across the Australian hardcore community and the globe, including Flatspot Records label mates Whispers (Thailand).
ALL MY ANGELS was produced, recorded and mixed by Elliott Gallart at The Chameleon Studios and sees the band reflecting on the passing of three close friends in recent years. Those events brought intense heartbreak to their community, but over time, they’ve magnified what SPEED have always held as their central ethos: To love unconditionally, without fear or regret. The three songs reflect on grief while honoring the memories of those lost, and mark the band’s heaviest hitting material to date. Lyrics on the EP address the sobering realities of loss, and include musings on mortality - more vulnerable and raw than ever before. The title track ends with a direct statement of intent; “All my angels, I can’t give up.”
Of “ALL MY ANGELS”, vocalist Jem Siow reveals the title track "wrestles through the immense hurt and confusion that comes with the loss of those deeply loved, especially in the instance of suicide… in striving towards their image and paying forward the lessons they bestowed to us, we can inch closer to not letting their deaths lie in vain."
On October 25th the band will celebrate the EP release with a show at roller rink Xanadu in Brooklyn, NY alongside End It and MSPAINT. From there, SPEED will fly to Europe for an eleven date tour supporting Malevolence with Dying Wish and Psycho-Frame. The band will play just announced shows in South Korea in November and round out the year with several shows in Australia. Already looking to 2026, SPEED will play both dates of US Festival Sick New World. Full list of upcoming tour dates below and tickets on sale now at gangcalledspeed.com.
