“Grand Collapse are probably the best band the UK has to offer right now. And they straddle the line between the worlds of spikey punks, crusties, jaded anarchos, angle haircutted emo lovers and check-shirted hardcore kids”. Louder Than War

“High octane punk with plenty of hardcore bursts that are enveloped in catchy melodic tunes. Great artwork, some of the best lyrics you’ll find in today’s hardcore punk genre and a total dedication to the punk ethics.” DIY Conspiracy
