BORSTAL released their debut EP, titled &#34;At Her Majesty&#39;s Pleasure&#34;, on April 1st 2021 via 4 Family Records. The EP was recorded, mixed and mastered at Monolith Studios by Charlie Wilson in Tottenham (September 2020). The EP also features a cover version of <a href="spotify:artist:4g7JwQDMt63FzxUxIwm3ZL" data-name="The Last Resort">The Last Resort</a>&#39;s &#34;King Of The Jungle&#34;, featuring a guest appearance by British oi legend Arthur Kitchener, father of Lee Kitchener (BORSTAL guitarist).

Bringing together an uncompromising blend of punishing New York hardcore-meets-U.K. hardcore/punk/oi!, and adding a little Spanish flavour lyrically into the mix (paying homage to Pierre&#39;s Peruvian roots), the result is an irresistible short sharp shock of all the best elements of hardcore spread across the six tracks.

Borstal played their debut show treading the boards of the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air Festival, in August 2021. Following on the success and highly rated reviews; a sold out debut headline show in London came at The Black Heart came soon after in November.

A 7&#34; release featuring 2 songs &#34;No Surrender&#34; &amp; &#34;Dark Path&#34; is set to be released on December 9th 2022 via 4 Family Records &amp; Rucktion Records. Both songs were produced by studio wizard Russ Russell (<a href="spotify:artist:3UqRgrDIQ208yNGiWKRMNt" data-name="Napalm Death">Napalm Death</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:6NB4b8lltHCjOhW7vQZkAy" data-name="The Exploited">The Exploited</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:6YXarbjg36ODFPez0PnOlD" data-name="At The Gates">At The Gates</a>).
