This is loud. This is fast. This is angry. And it’s exactly what the current world deserves.

On the track’s lyrics, Grail Guard explain:

“It seems strange how many politicians are happy to blame immigrants for the problems in society, without recognising the they are children of immigrants who have fled war, famine and disease. Easy to dream up harsh policies when you’ve continually dehumanised the very people who look like and sound like your own parents.

Feels like politicians should be there to serve the people, to have our interests front and centre rather than their own self-serving priorities of wealth and status.

When the likes of Suella Braverman urge us to look elsewhere, to see “them” as the enemy and the cause of our misery, it’s a deliberate distraction.”

It’s not people like them who are the problem, Suella — it’s People Just Like You.

Formed in 2022, Grail Guard simmered through multiple lockdowns and boiled over in a time when government incompetence contributed to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. Built from friendships and musical collaborations spanning more than two decades, the band channels lived experience into uncompromising hardcore punk.

Known for deep roots in Midlands DIY scenes, the band wasted no time making their mark—racking up over 100 shows in three years, supporting national and international heavyweights, and debuting to a packed, maximum-capacity crowd at Manchester Punk Festival 2025.

Grail Guard’s songs confront corruption in government, the rise of the far right, monetised fascist ideology, growing anti-immigration sentiment, and wars across the globe, while also exploring frontman Riaz’s British-Indian cultural heritage in modern Britain.

The raw intensity of “People Just Like You” was captured by Jon Priestley (Godfathers, The Damned, Gash) at Abatis Studios, preserving the band’s ferocity without sanding off the edges.

Still No Future is out via TNSrecords – preorder from our webstore.
