A European tour supporting Stomper 98 brought admiration and friendship from Rancid\u2019s Lars Frederiksen, leading to introductions and the eventual signing to Rancid cohort Tim Armstrong\u2019s legendary <strong>Hellcat Records <\/strong>in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melding the near-mythical musical heritage of their native Isle of Wight with the humdrum reality of growing up in a tired seaside town, <strong>Grade 2<\/strong> spit out blistering punk music laced with passion, angst, humour and despair. Fueled by a desire to be heard yet constrained by an ethos unsuited to daytime radio, Grade 2 ply their craft on the road, joining the likes of Dropkick Murphy\u2019s, The Interrupters and Social Distortion to play their songs to fervent audiences around the world. Their stark authenticity, thunderous live performances and exceptional musicianship have garnered praise across the hardcore punk fanbase. Grade 2 are a band to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/grade2_2022_ph_Ryan_Mackfall-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/grade2_2022_ph_Ryan_Mackfall-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/grade2_2022_ph_Ryan_Mackfall-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/grade2_2022_ph_Ryan_Mackfall-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/grade2_2022_ph_Ryan_Mackfall-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/grade2_2022_ph_Ryan_Mackfall-1536x1026.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/grade2_2022_ph_Ryan_Mackfall-2048x1368.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/grade2_2022_ph_Ryan_Mackfall-1140x761.jpeg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch them live on tour at the following UK gigs in 2023.
