THE HARA release fiery new single “Kings” after overcoming challenges
THE HARA is making waves with their scorching new single, “Kings,” which delves into the wreckage of broken trust. Released on Mascot Records, the track comes with a powerful lyric video giving fans a taste of the band’s upcoming album, The Fallout, slated for release on 23 January 2026. To mark the occasion, THE HARA will perform two special album-launch shows at the Camden Assembly in London and The Deaf Institute in Manchester.
Discussing the track’s gritty edge and emotional depth, the band opens up about themes of losing trust in an industry saturated with broken promises. They reflect on the challenges of discerning reality in an environment built on dreams, where success is often accompanied by skepticism and a sense of impending disappointment. Despite the disillusionment, there is a glimmer of hope embedded in the song’s lyrics—a defiance against being crushed by external forces.
In 2025, THE HARA embarked on a whirlwind tour across Europe, captivating audiences at festivals like Mighty Sounds, Rock For People, 2000 Trees, and Boomtown. They also shared the stage with Nothing More, headlined shows, and wrapped up a successful UK tour with As December Falls. “Kings” follows a string of intense singles like “Violence” (featuring Bethany Hunter Jiménez), “Easier to Die,” “Trophy,” “Stay,” and “The System.” Each release showcases their unique blend of alt-rock, metalcore, and emo, propelling them to prominent stages at festivals like Download, Slam Dunk, TRNSMT, and Reading & Leeds.
With The Fallout, THE HARA delve deeper into their musical and emotional core, offering fans a raw and authentic experience. Frontman Josh describes the album as a cathartic and honest reflection of their journey, capturing the band’s essence at its purest form. The record serves as a testament to their resilience, showcasing their ability to rise above adversity and create something powerful from the debris of disappointment.
As they gear up for a full UK headline tour in February and March, THE HARA are poised to leave a lasting impact on the music scene. Their electrifying sound and unwavering authenticity set them apart as artists unafraid to confront their inner turmoil and channel it into something profound. With The Fallout as their platform, THE HARA are not just surviving; they are thriving, building a legacy that transcends mere music and speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.
