The Manchester-based band are rounding off an incredible 12 months that have seen them release their latest album
THE FALLOUT, which has picked up support from BBC Radio 1 Introducing, Kerrang! Radio, Metal Hammer magazine, Kerrang magazine, SXM Octane, as well as playlisting across Spotify, Amazon, Apple, Deezer, and more.
They blitzed around the UK on tour with As December Falls through October and November last year, supported Nothing More in Switzerland and barely paused for breath as they finished the year on a co-headline run across Europe. 2026 kicked off with the release of
THE FALLOUT in January, which ignited their headline UK tour with sold-out shows through January to March. They’ll now be joining Scene Queen for a show in Budapest and touring with Escape the Fate in Germany in June.
Their 2026 summer festivals are coming thick and fast: Teddy Rocks (UK), Takedown (UK), Bospop (Netherlands), Radar (UK), Slavnosti (Czech Republic), Nu_Blood festival (Poland) and Mangata (Nottingham).
Their live reputation is boiling over which has seen them pick up further support slots with pop-punk giants Sum 41, Ice Nine Kills and make their name across the festival circuit; Download, Slam Dunk, 2000 Trees, Kendal Calling, TRNSMT, Tramlines, Truck, Boomtown Fair, Reading and Leeds Festival, as well as main stage performances at Rock For People and Mighty Sounds Festival in the Czech Republic.
Never content with sitting still they’ve dropped collaborations with As December Falls’ Bethany Hunter Jiménez on
Violence and with Ukrainian rockers The Hardkiss on
I Love You whilst singer Josh Taylor has announced that he is cycling 175 miles in 2 days for charity with the
Heavy Metal Truants to Bloodstock festival to raise money for Save The Children, Teenage Cancer Trust, Childline and Nordoff Robbins – you can see more info
here.
It’s this frenetic live presence, along with their heart-on-sleeve songs, that have built a formidable bond with their fans. The live-wire
Easier to Die follows the theme of losing hope in the pursuit of success and succumbing to negative thoughts, a theme that runs through the dark, intoxicating
Stay. Whilst
Kings is about losing trust, and
Twist the Arrows is a portrait of the pendulum swing between elation and disappointment.
You don’t know what to expect at a show? Just ask Metal Hammer –
“The band had the crowd bouncing from the outset. There are circle-pits, crowdsurfers and deafening roars of approval throughout.”THE HARA are vocalist Josh Taylor, drummer Jack Kennedy and guitarist Zack Breen, and they are bringing their off-the-hook party back around for another round.
