Southampton hardcore/thrash mob Grove Street have announced they will be releasing their debut album, ‘The Path To Righteousness‘, through UNFD on September 29th.

On announcing the album, guitarist Sandy described the album as “a labour of love” before adding; “we’ve worked on this record for a long time. from its inception to the DIY approach we took with the recording and mixing. This being our debut full-length, we knew we wanted to level up on every front, which led us to be meticulous with every detail on every part of every song. We couldn’t justify rushing it for the sake of feeding the machine. We’re extremely proud of it. Every track taps into a different part of what Grove Street is.”

Coinciding with the album announcement in a video/single release for the title track – ‘The Path To Righteousness’.

Musically, it sees Grove Street‘s sound firmly rooted in groove-laded hardcore thrash with chugging guitars and a stomping rhythm. Drummer Josh Williams explained the track “came together pretty organically in the practice room”.

“I remember listening to Suicidal Tendencies and Power Trip at the time and wanted to capture a hybrid of groove and fast thrashy vibes,” added Williams. “We wanted the last section to build and then finish strong and heavy. The repetitive vocal hook was added last minute in the studio, but it fast became my favourite part!”

While lyrically, ‘The Path To Righteousness’ sees the band take an introspective approach. “‘The Path to Righteousness’ represents and explores escapism & the importance of having outlets or vices to help forget about the struggles of life, and the paradoxical irony of how escaping everyday life improves everyday life,” says guitarist Sandy.
