COLD STRESS is a hardcore punk band formed in 2022 between Bayonne and Hossegor. Intense and incisive, their sound is carried by sharp riffs, percussive tempo changes, and aggressive vocals. They draw inspiration from a constantly evolving hardcore scene, whose energy can be felt live in sweat and chaos. After a first eponymous EP released at the end of 2023 and then produced on cassette by local label Dispear Records in early 2024, the band will release their first 12-track album in July 2025 on the same label, this time on vinyl and cassette. Since their first live show three years ago, the band has played 90 dates across France, and still has only one goal: to give it their all, and with urgency.
