Spearside Announce ‘Couldn’t Be Told’ EP With Ferocious Title Track Video

Irish hardcore duo Spearside announce their new EP ‘Couldn’t Be Told’, out October 22, and share the blistering title track as its first release. Built on frenzied punk energy and sharp intent, the song charges forward with classic hardcore urgency while reflecting on growth, youth, and hard-earned perspective. Shot in the gym the brothers built in their shed, the video brings the band’s world into clear focus, grounding the intensity in honesty and lived experience.

The EP expands Spearside’s sound across four tracks, moving from the righteous rush of “Couldn’t Be Told” through the melodic weight of “Sentimental,” the crushing drive of “Stuck Into Me,” and a raucous cover of Agent Orange’s “No Such Thing.” Following the momentum of ‘Hatchet Man’, the new EP leans into heaviness while reconnecting with the influences that first sparked their love of music. ‘Couldn’t Be Told’ lands as a confident, personal step forward, capturing a band pushing harder, clearer, and louder.
