Grove Street have been doing their thing since 2018, starting out as a homage to the world of Grand Theft Auto. Since they have grown and developed into one of the most furiously fun bands that UKHC had to offer. Attracting the attention of Australian heavyweight label UNFD, it’s now time for them to share their long-awaited debut album.
That album is called The Path To Righteousness and will be released on September 29. Vocalist Sandy had this to say about it:
“we’ve worked on this record for a long time; 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.”
The artwork is incredible and looks like this:

And you can check out the title track RIGHT NOW. A thrashing, belligerent piece of chaos-inducing hardcore, it’s an absolute rager. Pulled straight from the 80s and given a modern twist, it’s a big old statement of intent from a band ready to take on the world.
Sandy had this to say about it:
“The Path to Righteousness represents and explores escapism & the importance of having outlets or vices to help forget about the struggles of life, and the paradoxical irony of how escaping every day life improves every day life.”
And drummer Josh, adds:
“The track itself came together pretty organically in the practice room. I remember listening to Suicidal Tendencies and Power Trip at the time and wanted to capture a hybrid of groove and fast thrashy vibes. We wanted the last section to build and then finish strong and heavy. The repetitive vocal hook was added last minute in the studio, but it fast became my favourite part!”
