Welsh thrash-centric melodic punks Grand Collapse have released a new single from their upcoming album. “Without Let or Hindrance” comes off of the Empty Plinths LP, which is doe out 06 Aug 2021 via Epidemic Records.
Lead singer Cal discusses the title and subject of the track:
On the inside of a British passport it reads: “Her Britanic Majesty’s secretary of state requests and requires in the Name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance, and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.”
For a Country that is so actively hostile to anyone coming here, including refugees, I find this statement astounding.
British identity, which is steeped in Empire, is a pathetic shell of itself and watching these tossers hold on desperately to the tyranny of the past is cringe worthy.
This is a thrash monster, pure and simple. Full mosh mode!
