Pressure was formed by vocalist Diogo Narciso and drummer Rafael Madeira in the Autumn of 2008.

After years of playing together in Pointing Finger, missing the action and noticing the lack of new hardcore bands to open local shows, Pressure picks up where its members past bands left off, bursting an extremely powerful and emotional style of old-school straight edge hardcore with lots of sing-alongs and sincere lyrics.

Securing bassist Valter Ascensão and guitar players João Boto and David Rosado from the ranks of Broken Distance and also Pointing Finger the band proceeded to record a 4 song demo which came out in early 2009.

The demo tape was widely accepted and went on to be released as a 7” by both Monument and Positive and Focused Records which quickly sold out. Later that year the band went on their first tour supporting Broken Distance throughout Europe.

2010 was spent playing shows in Portugal and writing new songs. Former guitar player João Boto left the band, although filling in live when needed, being replaced by Daniel Novais also from Broken Distance.

In the beginning of 2011 Pressure entered Dalma Productions Studio and recorded Your Rage EP, featuring 6 tracks of uncompromising old school hardcore, mostly pretty fast with heavy breakdowns and mosh-parts. The drums are loud, the vocals are pissed and fit perfectly with the crunchy sound of the guitars. The EP will be released on a coalition of some of the finest European labels: Demons Run Amok Records, Refuse Records, Monument Records and Salad Days Records.

No matter what the next trend in hardcore may be, Pressure doesn't care. If you like youth-crew, in your face old school hardcore, this will be right up your alley.

Features members of bands like Pointing Finger, Broken Distance and Critical Point.
