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.
