Hearing Tests announce new single and limited 7" release - out September 3rd

London hardcore outfit Hearing Tests are set to unleash their second single “Bully” on 3rd September. The track will also feature on a brand new ‘Mob Rule/Bully’ 7”, pressed on translucent red vinyl and strictly limited to just 40 copies, dropping a few days earlier on 6th September via grapesofwrathrecords.bigcartel.com. 🍇

Sonically direct and politically charged, Hearing Tests channel the raw intensity of hardcore’s roots while injecting it with urgency for the present day. With fast, pummelling riffs and unflinching lyrical themes, their sound draws on the influence of Minor Threat, NoMeansNo, and Black Flag, tackling the rise of the far right, systemic inequality, and consumer culture head-on.

“Bully” continues the band’s mission of turning fury into fuel, built for sweaty basements, shouted choruses, and a sense of punk solidarity that feels both timeless and immediate. For a band that thrives on energy and conviction, this release isn’t just another record — it’s a statement.
