July 12, 2024 — Quit!!, the highly anticipated new album fromHARDY, is out today via Big Loud Rock; listen here. Additionally, the video for album standout “HAPPYHOUR” featuring Knox debuts today; watch here.
“Quit!! is out. Finally,” says HARDY. “Thank you to the person who left that negativity in the tip jar that night. This album wouldn’t exist without you. I hope everyone enjoys it.”
The new album, recorded with Big Loud’s own hitmaker Joey Moi (Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Nickelback), features singles “SIX FEET UNDER,” “ROCKSTAR” which is currently climbing at rock radio, “PSYCHO,” album title track “QUIT!! and “JIM BOB.” Quit!! is HARDY’s first full album embrace of his rock sound and follows last year’s much lauded, half rock LP, the mockingbird & THE CROW, which has spawned multiple #1 singles across genres.
HARDY is currently touring the U.S. on his headline Quit!! Tour and will livestream his show this Saturday, July 13 from Country Concert in Fort Loramie, OH exclusively via VEEPS; for more information visit veeps.com/hardy. HARDY’s extensive summer schedule sees him play headline dates and a slew of summer festival appearances, finishing with a return to his home state of Mississippi for his first ever stadium show and two back-to-back nights at Red Rocks this fall. Full routing is below.
In May, HARDY, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and Outlaw Light Beer took over Hollywood with a very special block party for 3,000 fans. HARDY joined the show to perform six songs live from their outdoor stage in a first since 2019. Watch HARDY perform “ROCKSTAR” on “Kimmel” here.
HARDY recently shared his version of the Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre classic “Gin and Juice,” recorded at the personal request of the hip hop icons. Listen here and check out the short film featuring HARDY, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Nicola Peltz Beckham here.
Big Loud Records/Big Loud Rock heavy hitter HARDY—crowned “Nashville’s nü-metal king” by the Los Angeles Times—soared to new heights in 2023 with the release of his critically acclaimed half-country, half-rock sophomore album the mockingbird & THE CROW, adding to 4.6 billion career streams. The 17-track effort debuted top five all-genre on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and topped seven additional Billboard charts in its first week, including Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Album Sales.
The pride of Philadelphia, Mississippi has earned his reputation as “a promising purveyor of keeping the spirit of classic heavy Southern rock alive” (American Songwriter), “capable of writing the big hits for radio, obstinate enough to do something completely unexpected, and savvy enough to find the throughline for it all” (Rolling Stone). A five-time ACM award winner and two-time CMA award winner, HARDY has also won three CMA Triple Play awards, was named the 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year and is a three-time AIMP Songwriter of the Year. HARDY has written 15 #1 singles including his own two-times Platinum chart topper “ONE BEER” featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson, the platinum Dierks Bentley and BRELAND collaboration “Beers On Me,” game-changing two-times Platinum duet “wait in the truck” feat. Lainey Wilson and first-ever rock radio #1 “JACK.” He’s previously toured with Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell and more.
