Description:
"Talk About It" is a powerful CD release by the British punk rock band Grade 2, issued by the renowned label collaboration Hellcat / Indigo. On this album, Grade 2 fuse classic street punk roots with a contemporary, high-energy sound: driving guitar riffs, tight rhythms and chant-along choruses that are made for sweaty clubs and festival stages.

The production keeps the raw edge of the band intact while giving each track enough clarity and punch to stand out, making this CD a strong statement for modern punk that still honors its origins.

With tireless touring, explosive live shows and a series of hard-hitting releases, the band has attracted a steadily growing international fan base and gained recognition across the global punk community. Their songs are characterized by memorable hooks, tight interplay and lyrics that reflect real life without clichés.
