Soul Glo

2 upcoming festivals

Philly's ferocious hardcore standard-bearers — blistering screamo velocity spliced with hip-hop and biting political fury, critical darlings for good reason.

Soul Glo are a hardcore band from Philadelphia, fronted by vocalist Pierce Jordan. Their music combines the speed and abrasion of screamo and powerviolence with rap cadences, noise and abrupt structural turns, and Jordan's lyrics deal directly with race, class, mental health and the politics of the punk scene itself.

The band built a following through self-released records and DIY touring before signing to Epitaph, which issued Diaspora Problems in 2022. That album drew wide critical attention and helped place the group among the more discussed hardcore acts of recent years.
