BLIND AUTHORITY - South England Hardcore

Location: London, UK

Release: Self Acceptance Records, 2013-2019

Age Of Quarantine, day # 157 - Heavy tunes ahead! London based BLIND AUTHORITY played a key role to help put British Hardcore back on the map, a soundwave that resonates to these days.

Since their inception in 2013 they have thicken the avalanche of hard hitting old school inspired bands that never ceased to expand in UK. Also, as I see it, their last 2 albums marked a symbolic transition by Carry The Weight Records, from being one the most prominent hardcore-related british labels from the past decade, to Quality Control HQ as the new main reference in the country in which, boosted by their association with Painkiller Records, has cemented a pathway for local bands to enter the "often close minded to foreign productions" US market.

2015 was the year when all eyes and ears turned to the booming UKHC or NWOBHC, as they dropped not only the VIOLENT REACTION debut LP on Revelation Records but also THE FLEX debut EP on Lockin' Out and BLIND AUTHORITY's Succumb To Violence LP! The rest is history.

As the years passed BLIND AUTHORITY added elements of 90's metalcore to their killer riffage arsenal which can be heard on their farewell release Death Dreams EP, at the beginning things were more frantic, INFEST meets SSD.
