Forgive - Demo

Released in May 2022 through Life Lair Regret Records and Second Guess Records, this three-track demo introduces Melbourne hardcore band Forgive. Drawing on the melodic, straight-edge hardcore tradition of bands like Turning Point, Bold and Outspoken, with a more contemporary connection to One Step Closer and Magnitude, the release delivers a timeless hardcore sound rooted in the Melbourne scene. Featuring “To Be,” “Guiding Light” and “Surrender,” this demo captures a new generation of Australian hardcore with a clear connection to the genre’s roots.
