Bane is a hardcore band from Worcester, Massachusetts. Since the mid-1990s they have paired fast melodic riffs with gang vocals and lyrics about friendship and loyalty. Give Blood (2001) pushed them further: ten tracks, under 26 minutes, Aaron Bedard up front. After farewell shows at the Worcester Palladium in 2016 they returned for a 2021 benefit and have been playing again since 2023. In 2024 they ran their first North American tour in eight years; in 2025 Equal Vision issued the archival Boston 6:58 PM EP digitally and on vinyl.
