Australian hardcore crew Speed have been awarded the New South Wales Music Prize, taking home $80,000 AUD (about $52,000 USD). The government-backed prize supports local artists, with Speed winning for the “significant impact” of their latest album, ONLY ONE MODE.
Ahead of accepting the award tonight, November 24th, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, the band said:
