The HIRS Collective is a fierce and uncompromising group rooted in the DIY punk, hardcore, and grindcore scenes. Formed in Philadelphia, the band is known for their intense sound, radical politics, and commitment to creating inclusive, queer-affirming spaces in heavy music. Operating as a collective rather than a traditional band, HIRS often features a rotating lineup of collaborators and contributors, including a wide array of punk and hardcore legends.
Their releases like "We're Still Here" and "The Third 100 Songs" showcase a relentless sonic barrage paired with messages of resilience, community care, and trans liberation. The HIRS Collective emphasizes the importance of visibility and solidarity, using their platform to uplift queer and trans voices in a genre not always known for its inclusivity. With blistering tracks and unapologetically political themes, they continue to push boundaries and foster a sense of empowerment in the underground music world.
