Grade 2 – Talk About It

British punk trio GRADE 2 return swinging with Talk About It, their third and most blisteringly realized album, out on Tim Armstrongs storied Hellcat Records. Its an 11-track surge that fuses classic punks bare-knuckle conviction with the disillusionment, identity crises, and quiet rage of Gen-Zdelivered by three Isle of Wight lifers whove been sharpening their edge since they first bashed out covers at 14. Jack Chatfield, Jacob Hull, and Sid Ryan have spent thirteen years turning raw instinct into a signature roar, and Talk About It captures them at full velocity.

Their blistering track, Cut Throat, distills their ethos: fierce guitars, punishing rhythm, and a narra-tive of clawing forward while the world seems hellbent on pulling you under. Its about a world that takes more than it gives, the band saysand that tension becomes fuel, a rallying cry for anyone navigating a landscape that feels colder by the day.
