Guilt Trip

Emerging from Manchester’s vibrant underground, Guilt Trip have asserted themselves as a compelling force in British hardcore punk since their formation in 2015. With a raw, kinetic energy that is distinctly their own, the group channels the brutality and urgency of classic hardcore with a contemporary edge, earning a devoted following within the UK’s aggressive music community.

Guilt Trip’s impressive catalogue includes the lauded album "Severance" released in September 2023, as well as the single "Burn" from 2025, and the "Rain City" EP from 2021. They continually push the boundaries of hardcore punk, and their live shows illustrate why the genre remains vital. In May 2025, the band brought their intense live show to both Leeds and Hatfield as part of Slam Dunk Festival, supporting headliners like KNOCKED LOOSE and sharing the stage with genre heavyweights such as Malevolence and BURY TOMORROW. Their dynamic presence on such bills highlights their reputation as one of the UK’s must-see live acts in heavy music.

With several headline shows slated across the UK in October 2026—including dates at Electric Bristol, New Century Hall in Manchester, The Joiners in Southampton, and London’s Electric Ballroom—Guilt Trip’s relentless schedule affirms their dedication to delivering uncompromising live music. For fans of hardcore punk and those seeking the nerve centre of the UK’s cutting-edge concert circuit, Guilt Trip remain essential.
