Isle of Wight punks Grade 2 tear forward with “Cut Throat,” their newest single on Hellcat Records, and it’s a fierce reminder of why they’re one of the sharpest punk bands coming out of the UK today. Fast, lean, and totally committed, the track hits with no warmup and no hesitation.
The guitars slice right in, the bass drives like a runaway engine, and the drums keep everything locked in tight. Vocally, it’s classic Grade 2 — gritty, urgent, and delivered with that confident bite they’ve earned through years of relentless touring. It’s street-punk attitude filtered through tight, modern production.
Lyrically, “Cut Throat” taps into frustration and pressure boiling over, handled with the band’s straightforward punch. No fluff, no overcomplication — just pure release.
This is Grade 2 in full strike mode: fast riffs, tight rhythms, and a track that ends before you’ve even caught your breath. A solid new entry from one of Hellcat’s most reliable bands.
