London based Gender Crisis are a half-trans, post-hardcore band making their stamp on the alternative scene. Following a sold out co-headline show with Witch Fever at Camden's iconic Underworld, the band have entered the New Year with new single "Hurricane".

Taking no time to introduce itself, the band's inspirations are clear throughout the track. This is a band that knows their craft, and as a result stand up there with some of the best in the genre.

Vocalist Rory City adds a unique edge to the song. The angst and roughness often associated with the genre is replaced by a calm, almost soothing melody. This complements the heavy instruments perfectly.

City also led the art direction for the single cover, which is great to see. The visual perfectly reflects the tone of the track, and it stands out amongst a crowd.

Fans of previous tracks "Beg For Me" and "Vices" will find more of the same here. The band have very much found their sound and are refining it with each release. The performance here is tight and the production quality is excellent, showing the high standard the band works to.

To date, Gender Crisis has seen 90,000 streams across 88 countries, along with radio play on shows such as Kerrang! and BBC Introducing Rock with Alyx Holcombe.

Their dedication goes beyond the music as well. The band have put inclusivity at the forefront of their live shows and character; in a world where it's so easy to be close-minded and negative, Gender Crisis are pushing boundaries and setting examples.

This is a band you need to pay attention to, and "Hurricane" is only testament to that.

"Hurricane" is out NOW on all streaming platforms.
