Regress – Self-Titled EP (2026)
London’s hardcore underground has always been a pressure cooker and the latest bright upstarts Regress have just ripped the lid clean off with their self-titled debut EP on Rucktion Records. Mixed and mastered by Lucas Kilpatrick, this 5 track EP record is hostile and an absolutely relentless 15-minute offering from our capital’s underbelly.
Regress proudly fly the power violence beatdown flag, but don’t mistake that for simplicity. The guitars weave between jagged riffs and tectonic chugs, while the drums oscillate from calculated menace to full-on blitzkrieg. Vocals from Marcy Turner are guttural battle cries, spat like shrapnel straight from the diaphragm of someone who’s seen too much and wants you to feel every ounce of it.
Standouts? Until the End and Soaked in Betrayal are sonic rollercoasters—violent, unpredictable, and offering zero respite. They don’t just hit hard; they hit deep, rattling your ribcage and pounding your chest. This isn’t background music. It’s a full-body experience, the kind that leaves you sweaty, bruised, and craving more.
Regress make noise—ugly, beautiful, cathartic noise. And if this EP is any indication, London’s hardcore scene just got a new mouthpiece.
Catch Regress on a couple dates with the dawgs in False Reality and Overpower throughout April.
9/4/26 - London
