The HIRS Collective exist to fight for, defend, and celebrate the survival of trans, queer, poc, black, women and any and all other folks who have to constantly face violence, marginalization, and oppression. We are a collective of freaks that will never stop existing. Infinite and never ending. No one is going to kill us, we are going to live forever.

Commitment is a new-ish Philly hardcore band fronted by Tati Salazar, who previously led the much more melodic indie pop project Le Siren (fka The Childlike Empress), and whose drummer is Soul Glo vocalist Pierce Jordan. With a lineup rounded out by guitarist Jake Smith (of Eye Flys) and bassist Zach Bailey, Commitment released their first demo earlier this year and now they signed to Get Better Records and put out the new single “Hellraiser.” The Commitment demo is fast-paced, no-frills hardcore punk with no song reaching the two-minute mark and a couple under one minute, and “Hellraiser” is another high-speed, 60-second rager that makes it clear that this is a very exciting new band.
