Hardcore Punk Hits Brighton

On Saturday, 5 December 2026, Restraining Order will be performing at The Hope & Ruin in Brighton, showcasing their unique brand of meaty hardcore punk. • The band's sound is characterised by hyper guitar riffs, coupled with the arresting cadence of lead singer Patrick Cozens, and contemplative lyrical content that offsets their relentless tempo. • With a discography that includes their debut full-length This World Is Too Much, as well as subsequent albums Locked In Time and Future Fortune, Restraining Order has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the hardcore punk scene. • Their music draws inspiration from the early days of hardcore punk, with a '77 punk attitude and a sound that's reminiscent of late-1980s US hardcore, drawing comparisons to bands like 86 Mentality and Circle Jerks.

With a current line-up that includes Patrick Cozens on vocals, Dylan Tobia on live guitar, Keith Freeman on bass, and Will Hirst on drums, Restraining Order is a band that's all about energy and intensity. Tickets are with the button beside the article.
