SPEED have scored $80,000 AUD (about $52,000 USD) after winning the New South Wales Music Prize. The band were recognized for the “significant impact” made by their latest album “ONLY ONE MODE.”

SPEED commented:

“Respectfully, our culture has never been a game nor a competition. But we are honoured to receive this recognition and see this as acknowledgment of the values cultivated by the passionate souls around us.”

They also added:

“In 2025, we have a whole new generation of amazing kids all over the country making Sydney and Australian hardcore the sickest it’s ever been. With that being said, this award belongs to them – the people around us who make it what it is – and we’ll take some time to think about the best way we can pay that forward to keep growing this the right way.”
