Scarlet Street – “VICTORY SPEECH”

Scarlet Street returns with “VICTORY SPEECH” – a searing, three-and-a-half-minute blast of post-hardcore aimed straight at the boardroom. The single channels fury through jagged guitars, glitchy textures, and a chilling sample from Jimmy Carter’s 1979 “Crisis of Confidence” speech.

Sung from the cold, calculated perspective of the ultra-wealthy, the track dismantles the illusion of progress: courts are bought, outrage is monetized, and even rebellion is turned into a product. “We sold the bricks that you have bought to throw” hits like a gut punch in a media cycle running on fumes.

If “CORPORATE MEMPHIS” was the thesis, “VICTORY SPEECH” is the victory lap billionaires take – confetti and all. A cryptic alternate reality game (ARG) is unfolding alongside the release, leaving digital breadcrumbs and distorted clues across the internet.

For fans of Brand New, Thrice, and La Dispute, this is Scarlet Street at their most unflinching.
