"Civilised society?
played punk music that was fused with metal, yet had brilliant lyrics. They were from Batley in West Yorkshire and started out with Dinger on vocals, Stan on drums, his brother Jerry on bass and Mick on guitar. Mick apparently 'sucked too much' and was replaced by Jerri. Afterwards, their roadie named 'Slops' took over on bass, and they got two more additional vocalists named Bev and Jowan. All of the members pointed out that early Metallica and Anthrax(the metal one) had become influences on their style, as well as Crass's ideas."

Grand Collapse from Cardiff, Wales
"...The band is fronted by the son of the profoundly missed and loved by the punk world Stig of Icons of Filth but they don’t rely on media hype or any punk credentials because of that.
Grand Collapse are just hellbent on pursuing their own musical direction. It’s not just Calvin on the vocals that really nails it down, but everyone in the band is doing an excellent job to deliver some of the best and intriguing punk-rock for the last decade. I won’t exaggerate to say that "Along The Dew” is probably the best UK hardcore punk album for 2017!
All the anger we hear and feel in these eleven songs is just the essence of what hardcore punk should be all about. The drumming and guitar work on this LP are fuckin’ incredible. Grand Collapse play from start to finish with such an intensity and ferocity that you’ll feel the rage deep inside your skin.
Besides the galloping music lies also a solid lyrical foundation. The lyrics are extremely well-written, political and fun to read. They all stand out as short essays, written from a personal perspective, that depict issues like animal rights, domestic violence, arms trade, supporting the refugees and telling the fascists to fuck off. We have all the inspiration that comes out of a punk band, but the way they are written in this one are a breath of fresh air since you don’t have the boring political rants and call to actions that you’ll find in 99% of all political punk bands. It’s more like the Propagandhi type of lyricism that I’m sure you all love to read...."
