Grove Street release brand new single "Self-Sabotage"
Southampton hardcore/thrash quintet, GROVE STREET, have released a brand-new single, ‘Self-Sabotage’, featuring Seth Gilmore - the first track off a new LP coming summer 2026.
"The track is about making mistakes that you consequently blame/hate yourself for, but then realising that the only way to move forward is to forgive yourself and accept the past,” the band share.
“It's written as an internal monologue in the verses, as if you’re talking to yourself in the mirror, the chorus is first person perspective and then Seth’s part is from the perspective of a friend/therapist telling you how it is. The collab with Seth came about through Sandy driving one of his bands on tour, Skourge, and just being good mates with him from there really. His vocals are sick and we purposely wrote that part in mind for him to lay something gnarly down on, so we were stoked when we made it happen! His vocal part was recorded super DIY style, in a van at Download earlier this summer when he was there performing with Power Trip, proper rock n roll!"

Though their origins stem from lively nights in a Southampton student house, a laugh between mates sessioning PlayStation, bonding over shared love of hardcore, metal and skate punk, UK quintet Grove Street have evolved into a fixture and figurehead of a thriving domestic heavy underground. Through years of white van grind across UK and Europe, Grove Street have sharpened their craft into a deadly weapon, one they’re ready to draw.
Taking influence from the giants of 90s hardcore and metal, thrash, punk and hip hop in equal measure, the Grove Street sound is absolutely stacked with grooves, riffs, and the kind of energetic pace that’ll send you straight to the chiropractor.
Their debut album “The Path To Righteousness”, came on like the Beastie Boys with breakdowns, Pantera with prose, Grove Street peppering their fury with a fun spirit that’ll keep you grinning while riff onslaughts repeatedly thump you upside the head. But make no mistake – a joke band this aint, their lyrics showcasing an insightful pulse and social conscience, tackling topics from police brutality to battling inner demons, beasts without and within.
"We’ve worked on this record for a long time,” recalls guitarist Sandy, who also produced and mixed the album at his home studio; “It was a labour of love, from its inception to the DIY approach we took with the recording and mixing. This being our debut full length, we knew we wanted to level up on every front, which led us to be meticulous with every detail on every part of every song. We couldn’t justify rushing it for the sake of feeding the machine. We’re extremely proud of it. Every track taps into a different part of what Grove Street is.”
And Grove Street are hitting the road again, first heading into Europe through Nov/Dec 2025, before a run of UK shows in January 2026. Known for their incredible high energy performances, this is one you won’t want to miss !
