The Downbeat Podcast - Speed (Jem Siow + Josh Clayton)

[@BenPeddie-s2g]

I fucking love their dedication to only playing 35 minutes.

[@DazzzTube]

I don’t give a fuck what anyone says, these boys are legit and fuelled by pure passion for their scene

[@RJTempo]

Whole conversation is amazing, but 49:40 has me SO motivated to keep making music right now. Love SPEED man, their attitude is truly infectious.

[@zombeeduuck]

i feel the exact same way, i genuinely needed to hear what he had to say.

[@martinbrookscreative]

The SPEED that I clicked on this video

[@CoilBuilder]

As soon as I saw it lol

[@PunkAssSamurai1]

Sameee hahahahah

[@silenc9]

SAME

[@AndrewJShirley]

How absolutely lovely and cool are these guys? Awesome shit man.

[@CharlieViking95]

Huge guest! Loving the consistency with the uploads!

[@Darko.mp3]

Just saw these guys 2 nights ago in Melbourne at the Bunt Jam, was crazy. Stage dives every 4 seconds for the entire show, and it was fuckin free!

[@nicknoethe6998]

I love how recently Ronnie Radke was giving SPEED shit about this Nike collab and saying "it's not very punk/hardcore to work with a brand like Nike" when it doesn't matter. I respect and appreciate humans like the ones in SPEED so much more than the Ronnie Radke's of the world. SPEED is super humble and DIY, it's so highly respected 🙌🏼🖤

[@scrimmybingus1118]

radke is an idiot lol

[@Big-Yella]

GANG CALLED SPEED BABY! This episode was sick, I love seeing small Aussie bands killing shit

[@Dayman420]

I would hardly call Speed a small Aussie band 😂 they spend majority of the year touring outside of Australia doing sold out shows, not many bands can pull that off.

[@nickkeates9833]

@@Dayman420 yeah and legit played like a whole tour playing 2000 people rooms in aus 😭

[@Dayman420]

They are so big here that they’ve became the people who only listen to metals token hardcore band. Near everyone into heavy music in this country likes them.

[@ZrankFappaH]

It must be so hard for hardcore bands to make it MASSIVE and get invited to way bigger venues but they don’t allow people up on stage/have barriers and lumps of security between the crowd and band. And for Speed this really is their mastery. Allowing the primal energy to bleed onto the stage is just such a beautiful thing. It cannot change!

[@scattaredlight]

This was soooo awesome. I looved the stories and their music is so good! Thank you!🖤🖤

[@hellomynameisbenjaminupton]

Sydney represent!

[@Veeto]

showed my og NY hardcore / grindcore coworker this band and told me it was the hypest band hes heard in years. bands fucking MAJOR.

[@collinsmith7883]

Such a sick episode! I personally love the attention HC is receiving in the bigger picture of heavy music. I fuk it’s their mindset and passion for HC!

[@mickzandstra4773]

Hardcore sets longer dan 30 minutes are never needed lol. Love the commitment. The routine of seeing a band for 20-30 minutes, 20-30 minute break, rince repeat 3/4/5 times is perfect. When i go out to a show i dont want to be bombarded with high energy for hours on end. Just like having spinning stages so there is no downtime or 2 mainstages next to each other. F*ck off with that shit.

[@mlrdmn]

Great interview! Gutted i missed the APRA x Speed Talk in Sydney this week!!

[@duhsilverrfox]

Just a bunch of friends from a small town who wanted to play music together and put other mates on the map. That’s real love, props to SPEED, they have already carved their name next to some of the greats in the scene with this mindset alone.

[@patfix]

33:49 oh brother, instant classic Downbeat story.

[@downstroke_daan]

Love this episode. SPEED

[@zeeglass]

im SO fucking stoked on this episode

[@hellomynameisbenjaminupton]

The best episode. What amazing dudes.

[@StuFX]

33:49 what the fuck 😂

[@danielraison4337]

Love this band and loved this podcast

[@Quaxlabax]

[@melxx468]

Love SPEED, what a good podcast!!

[@nickrickert3109]

[@fowards]

Most humble guys I’ve met fr 💯

[@chrisrulz333]

The faces made at 34:08 had me crying laughing!

[@DrakeBergman]

I was at that Pittsburgh show and I can attest to the flute being sick af.

[@rafaneves4525]

Speed is not my bag but this interview was great, big up gentlemen! Big shout out to Miles Away and Break Even, check them out if you like verse/have heart.

[@ScottxJones]

That warbrain prase. That band will always be on my regular spin.

[@echo-optics6154]

Wish I could afford to go to America for the tour but hopefully a uk one happens in the future 🙌

[@davidcasely7513]

[@haydenmcallister6647]

SPEED kicks ass

[@AdderAudio1]

[@Jasperyeahhh]

GANG CALLED SPEED

[@YungGrandson]

Talking about culture being diluted while simultaneously doing live nation tours and signing deals with massive brands like Nike who use borderline slave labor is wild

[@ChristopherLock]

doing us aussies proud

[@northernxdarkness]

19:34 i' pretty sure I know he's talking about a guy that stagedived in Hamburg and hit his head and bled all over the floor and needed to get carried out lmao but i heard he's fine, but like i've never seen that much blood and it didn't feel okay that moment

[@jackfran2188]

SPEEEEED

[@shafiqsyahmi]

Good morning wan

[@corev4lues]

SPEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@jamezmonarch3441]

You’d think someone would have the consideration to not injure let alone suplex any of the band members. Thankfully the injury wasn’t worse and the vibe was kept alive. Funny story though, I was suplexed in a mosh pit by an unknown person at a ERRA headliner while Void of Vision was playing. I hit the ground dumb hard and my friends and the rest of the crowd pushed him out of the venue. My knee had some cool colors on it for about a month.

[@MikeisLegend]

SPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDD!

[@bazierk5175]

Gang called SPEED!

[@jaspermaloney720]

SPEED on the Downbeat before GTA6

[@LeperMessiah2]

Bruv please have a s&s. Love your content.

[@reynlord666]

Idk what that means

[@LeperMessiah2]

@reynlord666 a shave & a shag mate 😂 Much love from 🇳🇴 Love your channel

[@abigbeautifultomorrow1026]

Nice to see no mic's in peoples faces

[@reynlord666]

Yes when there’s two guests not 5 it’s easy to do. Basic light theory

[@Dayman420]

Also how big these shows are getting hasn’t been great either, hardcore is in a tough spot as a fan because I want the bands to succeed but don’t want the shows to be ruined. I straight up skipped a free Speed show the other day because I just don’t find shows that big to be fun at all.

[@blake.henderson]

craig hooning fat vapes every time the camera isnt on him

[@ZyglroxInertia]

Speed

[@louisd.]

The real

[@Dayman420]

The people not understanding moshing thing is ruining shows. So many people choose to stand near on in the pit and get so mad about taking a hit, then think that them deliberately attacking the person is all good because they got hit first. You don’t have to understand hardcore culture, but don’t go to shows if you can’t accept it and can’t take getting hit.

[@ItsSliWill]

WE NEED SPEED IN NEW ZEALAND

[@gregoryr2608]

American here. Wtf is crusha and a quava?

[@reynlord666]

Crochet = quarter note. Quaver = 8th note

[@cynthiapitts5123]

This is the best thing to pass time at the airport. Perfect timing with the upload

[@BenPeddie-s2g]

easiest click of my life

[@stefcarrizales]

craig you probably shouldn’t go back to india or at least take weed from promoters in india

[@jooshfutterman3337]

I respect only wanting to play 30 minutes, ever. But man that sucks for fans.
