The brand new UKHC band featuring Pierre Mendivil (Knuckledust), Nick Barker (Brujeria, ex-Cradle Of Filth/Dimmu Borgir/Testament) and members of Dripback and King Of Pigs. BORSTAL are set to release their much-anticipated debut EP titled "At Her Majesty's Pleasure" via 4 Family Records on April 1st. 6 tracks of vicious hardcore/metal. "Borstal represents UKHC the way we love it and feel very thankful for the support people have shown us in the early stages of what we are doing." Says frontman Pierre. "I'm positive if you enjoyed our debut release, you will love what we have in the pipeline. Our latest single is a lyric video for a song called KARMA, inspired by the types who think they can come to shows and our hxc community and steal from their own people. I always remember the way it used to be at shows when you could just dump all your stuff in a corner of the room and run to the pit to support the bands playing and not even have to worry about your stuff getting stolen." The EP was recorded, mixed and mastered at Monolith Studios by Charlie "Squid Commander" Wilson in Tottenham (September 2020). The EP also features a cover version of The Last Resort's "King Of The Jungle", featuring a guest appearance by non-other than Brit Oi legend, Mr Arthur Kitchener, father of Lee Kitchener (BORSTAL guitarist).
