Known for live shows that push intensity to its limits, the five-piece combine technical precision with an openness to tackle subjects rarely addressed with such blunt force. ‘PEACE’, directed by Thomas Elliott, is both immediate and heavy with emotion.
Singer Jem Siow explains the song’s origins in grief: “Three of our close friends passed away in 18 months – but, amidst this devastation, I was overcome with a deep sense of clarity and peace. Because, despite the abyss of questions of why and how, my clearest sense of calm lay in the certainty that the time we shared and invested in one another was underpinned by unfiltered honesty and unconditional love.
“Their lives were short, but I know our experiences together were lived with deep, meaningful intention, which has in turn empowered us with more meaning and purpose while we are still here. This sense of calm and focus exists like a sharpened, refined weapon at my disposal – poised to attack life and its many hurdles with precision and intention. And it has only been refined through the process of loss.”
All My Angels follows the band’s acclaimed debut Gang Called Speed and reflects a continued evolution. If their reputation has been built on sheer ferocity, the new single shows how SPEED’s songwriting channels not just aggression, but resilience and reflection.
