SPACED Share Video for How Did It Come To This as No Escape EP Lands
Buffalo’s genre-bending hardcore crew SPACED have released a crushing new video for “How Did It Come To This”, one of the standout tracks from their freshly dropped No Escape EP, out now via Pure Noise Records.
Riding a wave of early praise from outlets like Revolver, Stereogum, and BrooklynVegan, No Escape is a five-track blitz of fuzzed-out riffs, cosmic guitar textures, and head-spinning breakdowns that solidify SPACED’s claim to “far out hardcore.” On “How Did It Come To This,” they hit their stride with phased guitars and pounding grooves that sound equally at home in the pit or floating in the atmosphere.
A Heavy Trip With No Way Out
Formed in 2021 and now boasting releases through Revelation Records and Pure Noise, SPACED are a band built on tension—between heaviness and headiness, fun and fury, genre traditions and sonic evolution. On No Escape, that tension boils over into defiant anthems and kaleidoscopic aggression.
Produced by Jay Zubricky (Every Time I Die, Terror), the EP captures the group’s chaotic yet controlled energy, driven by frontwoman Lexi Reyngoudt’s cutting lyrics on suffocation, survival, and strength through community. “While I feel down about things like that,” Reyngoudt says, “I still feel lucky to be surrounded by the hardcore community and people who will speak up with me.”
The five songs range from the crushing title track to the hallucinogenic ferocity of closer “Dog Bite,” pulling in influences from shoegaze legends like My Bloody Valentine to hardcore institutions like Terror—whose frontman Scott Vogel’s concept of “positive aggression” helped shape the EP’s ethos.
