‘Die In The City’ marks the trio’s second release with Manchester-based label Scruff Of The Neck Records and follows on from the band finally fulfilling a triumphant UK headline tour this autumn after Covid delays forced them to reschedule a number of shows numerous times. Previous single ‘Fool & The Thief’ weaved elements of rock, pop, punk and electro into its dramatic three minutes and had it’s first play on BBC Radio 1 with Gemma Bradley.

It has also been a successful summer for the Manchester band, who have appeared at festivals up and down the country. Back in June they played the Download Festival Pilot before bookending the summer by opening the main stage at this year’s Reading and Leeds. The Hara also played triumphant shows at TRNSMT in Glasgow, Tramlines in Sheffield, Neighbourhood Weekender in Warrington and Slam Dunk in the north and south.

The trio consisting of; Josh Taylor (frontman), Zack Breen (guitar) and Jack Kennedy (drums), have already found a home on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music playlists as their  ‘genre fluid’ sound sees them continue to break new ground sonically. This hybrid of sounds has also warranted them to be featured across airwaves and column inches, with notable acclaim from BBC Introducing, Kerrang!, Amazing Radio and Manchester Evening News.

Explaining the band’s mantra, Josh elaborates, “We want to show everyone that despite it all, despite what the statistics say, despite what people say or any of that social media acceptance bullsh*t, it really doesn’t matter. Thousands of people will reject you for being different but there are 10 times over that amount who will accept you and who are feeling just like you. If people can become a part of such a glorious resistance through our music, then that’s our mission”
