GRADE2
Single: Midnight Ferry
Release Date: January 2023
Musical style: Modern Punk
Famed for blistering live performances and exceptional
musicianship, UK band Grade 2 bring no-frills classic punk to the
modern era. Their self-titled album due on February 17th is a bone-
crunching 35-minutes that agitates, intoxicates and liberates in
equal measure. Ahead of its release they share their new single
“Midnight Ferry” out now, featuring slick guitar riffs and lively
shout-along verses that lead into crisp vocal harmonies.
“This song is our story, a tale of a night out and the truth of growing
up in a rural town,” the band explains. “Capturing the adventurous
spirit, trying to escape any mundane responsibilities, if just for a
night. Just know you’ll be brought straight back down to earth on
that journey home.”
50 years after the genre turned the music world upside-down, UK
based Grade 2 are bringing the raw power of old school punk to a
new generation. United by a love of old-school punk, ska and oi,
childhood friends Sid Ryan (vocals, bass), Jacob Hull (drums) and
Jack Chatfield (guitar, vocals) formed the band at fourteen years
old, honing their craft playing Clash and Jam covers before refining
their own sound. Melding the near-mythical musical heritage of
their native Isle of Wight with the humdrum reality of growing up in
a tired seaside town, Grade 2 spit out blistering punk music laced
with passion, angst, humor and despair.
