Hard to Hit and Bad Kids
The new EP from Miramar-based pop-punk rockers Hard to Hit, Better Than I’ve Been, drops on December 1 at Soma. “This is our first show since March, as we had a lineup change, losing both of our guitarists,” says bassist TJ Feasby. “Losing those members was a significant setback, and often can crater a band. We retooled and wrote this record.”
The roster shift inspired both the album’s name and cover art. “'Better than I’ve been' is a line from the first single, ‘Lunchbox Special.’ We chose this title because we feel strongly about always trying to be a better version of yourself, and we feel like it’s especially fitting, considering the turnover in the band. The album art depicts a young man with a ‘monster’ for a shadow. It represents leaving past ‘monsters’ behind, and evolving from them.” Also appearing is Nights Like Thieves, Bad Kids, Headstone, and Misadventure. The bill includes Nights Like Thieves, Headstone, and Misadventure.
