** NOTE: THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE – As a highly-visual documentary, and as not all podcast platforms support video content currently, this is only available on YouTube.
Despite disbanding almost 20 years prior, the short lived UK post-hardcore band Her Words Kill very unexpectedly became far more popular than they'd ever been towards the end of 2025. In a matter of weeks, their music managed to spread far and wide, with many people discovering them for the first time and wanting to know more about this band who, for them, had been kept an unearthed secret for just short of two decades.
That's where I come in – in this video, we'll run through their few short years together, their two releases, and what the hell caused them to go from a UK underground act of the past to worldwide beloved could've beens.
If you've got any feedback, suggestions, additional info or suggestions on bands to cover the story of in the future, please do let me know in the comments!

By the late 2000s, Gallows arguably became the biggest British hardcore band ever. The release of their first album, 'Orchestra Of Wolves', saw Gallows quickly become one of the biggest new bands both in and out of the UK, landing a million pound deal with a major label – something that no British hardcore or punk band has managed to land since.
Join me as we take a deep dive into their career, from their chaotic local shows of the early days, their fast rise through the ranks, bagging a major label deal and committing their own rock 'n' roll swindle, to their second phase and era, the legacy they’ve built, and the members' many different side-projects.
If you've got any feedback, suggestions, additional info or suggestions on bands to cover the story of in the future, please do let me know in the comments!
