Grade 2 share new single “Better Today”, a track that explores the impact depression can have on relationships and the fragile process of recovery. The song contrasts the experience of hitting rock bottom with a more hopeful present, capturing both accountability and progress.

“Better Today talks about the damage that depression can have on a relationship. It contrasts between the recent past of being at rock bottom to a now hopeful present.”

The single is taken from the band’s fourth album Talk About It,setfor release on April 3rd viaHellcat Records. Over twelve years since forming as schoolmates, bassist Sid Ryan, guitarist Jack Chatfield, and drummer Jacob Hull reflect on growth, resilience, and the realities of life on and off the road.
Talk About It captures a defining chapter of growth for the band — shaped by touring through uncertainty, navigating relationships at home while building momentum on international stages, and channeling personal struggles into direct, honest songwriting. From festival appearances to sharing stages with longtime heroes, Grade 2 turn experience into urgency and reflection into songs built on grit and melody.
The album stands as a statement of survival and evolution — raw, focused, and forward-looking.
Grade 2 will hit the road in support of the new album, with UK dates kicking off at the end of the month before continuing across Europe throughout spring and early summer. The run spans Ireland, the UK, mainland Europe, and festival appearances, marking one of their most extensive touring periods to date. Please see below for the full list of dates.
