PREVIEW: Higher Walls - So Much, For So Long, For So Little - No End EP

Higher Walls are a London-based hardcore quartet, that fuses blisteringly fast guitar work, polyrhythmic drumming, and technical bass to create a sound unlike any other band on the London hardcore scene. Formed in 2020 by Jordan Kaad (vocals), Radu Ghidirim (guitar) and Stefan Babara (drums), Higher Walls have built a catalogue of heavy hitting technical music that is proudly grounded in the traditions of bands such as Raised Fist, Terror and Antagonist A.D., whilst also blending the ferocious energy of bands similar to Trap Them, Gaza and Nails.

The band were joined by Chris Sparrow (bass) in 2024 and, with a refreshed outlook, released the Tear Them Down EP - setting the bar tremendously high for the quality and passion to expect going forwards. They have exceeded all expectations with their upcoming EP No End, which is the best representation of the band to date; including six tracks of intense hardcore, with themes ranging from the bleak landscape we currently find ourselves in globally, to the people in power, as well as future generations finding it difficult to make positive change.

As a special treat, ahead of the release of single 'So Much, For So Long, For So Little' tomorrow, Out Of Rage has been given exclusive opportunity to share the new single a little bit early for all of you reading - so check out the video below to hear the track in all of its vitriolic glory!

Higher Walls had plenty to say about the new song too, with this uncompromising and unequivocal statement on the lyrical content found within: "The second single from our EP No End. 'So Much, For So Long, For So Little' speaks of the widening class divide in the UK and the brazen incentive for governments, the global elite and big business to prioritize profits over people. This is of course nothing new, but there is an obvious arrogance to this now. Government contracts being given to friends, dismantling administrative departments to further individual agendas and perpetuating endless war to maintain cordial global relations. We must call out injustices and not give in to hate."

With the uncompromising energy within, combined with the vicious vocals and devastatingly scathing political lyrics, it's abundantly clear that Higher Walls are on the warpath and will not settle until the decimation of all that divides us is complete. Now, all we can do is spin this until the EP is out later this month!

New single 'So Much, For So Long, For So Little' will be released tomorrow on April 4th 2025.

No End will be released on April 25th 2025.
