Barriers

Barriers have carved out a distinct space in Brighton’s thriving live music scene as purveyors of blistering hardcore punk. Since forming in 2017, this UK-based group has consistently channelled a raw, energised sound, marked by a fierce DIY ethos and relentless authenticity. Their 2019 album, Through the Middle, set a vigorous tone, while their recent singles such as “Distant Memory” and the forthcoming “Sick Sad World” continue to showcase the band’s uncompromising approach and powerful storytelling.

Renowned for electrifying concerts that capture the urgency and spirit of classic punk, Barriers remain a staple for fans of the genre seeking both tradition and innovation. Their discography includes visceral tracks like “Cry Later”, “Triangulation”, and “Control Once Again”, cementing their reputation as one of Brighton’s most dynamic hardcore punk acts. The band’s commitment to the scene is evident in both their recorded output and their live gigs, which resonate deeply with audiences drawn to authentic, high-energy performances.

Barriers are headlining The Cowley Club in Brighton this September 2026, sharing the stage with True Intent, Final Notice, and Raptures—a testament to their standing in the local punk community.
