Bio

TOOLS OF THE TRADE  are an established Grind-Core band based in Kuala Lumpur, founded in 2004. A favourite among old-heads and curious youngsters, Tools of the Trade have toured around Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo Island, Singapore, Indonesia and even toured in Europe in 2012, 2016 and 2018. In 2024, they completed Tour in Bangkok, Singapore & Indonesia. Since their founding, they have been relentlessly productive with their music, having released three full-length albums, numerous split discs and two EPs. “There is Nothing Left”, is the new release and few projects for upcoming splits are on-going as well. And another significant plan of ours, we will be touring Japan & Europe for two to three weeks in 2025. Music is described as a “Face Down in Shit” Grind-core blended well with Hardcore Punk. Songs are strongly influenced by current political situations, socio-anarchy, and oppression in daily life.
