Negative Frame

Negative Frame stand as a distinctive force within the London UK hardcore scene. The band's reputation has grown steadily on the back of a raw, uncompromising sound and a series of well-crafted EPs. Their most recent release, Mercy Killing (August 2023), demonstrates an enduring commitment to the intensity and authenticity synonymous with UK hardcore, while previous EPs like Small World (2022) and Pestilent (2018) showcase a compelling evolution in songwriting and sonic aggression.

Live music aficionados recognise Negative Frame for their powerful stage presence and relentless energy. In May 2026, the band supported the formidable Pintglass at UNDERWORLD in London—a testament to their growing esteem within the UK hardcore circuit. Sharing the bill with acts like The Hell and Overpower further highlights their respected status amongst both peers and fans.
