Live Nation Press Release

Kicking down the door on his next chapter of music, Big Loud Records / Big Loud Rock heavy-hitter HARDY returns today with “QUIT!!,” an autobiographical and referential spoken word track that recaps his journey to becoming "Nashville’s nü-metal king” (Los Angeles Times).

Calling back to his infamous 2022 ACM Honors speech accepting his first-ever ACM Songwriter of the Yearaward, HARDY’s “QUIT!!” continues to push the boundaries wide on his bombastic, genre-less, and wide-reaching appeal. SPIN puts it simply: "For HARDY, a rock-loving country star, shocking his audience in this way is exactly the point."

“Thank you for inspiring me to be great,” HARDY says. “I guess sometimes holding a grudge is a good thing.”

More About HARDY

Big Loud Records' heavy-hitter HARDY has never been just one thing. Kicking down the door on his next chapter of music now, he returns with “QUIT!!,” an autobiographical and referential spoken word track that recaps his journey to becoming "Nashville’s nü-metal king” (Los Angeles Times).

HARDY soared to new heights in 2023 with the release of critically acclaimed half-country, half-rock sophomore album “the mockingbird & THE CROW,” adding to nearly 4 billion career streams. The dichotomous, 17-track effort debuted top five all-genre on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and kinged 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-times-ACM Award-winner and two-times-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 13 No. 1 singles, including his own two-times-Platinum No. 1 “ONE BEER” feat. Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson; chart-topping, Platinum Dierks Bentley and BRELAND collaboration, “Beers On Me”; and game-changing two-times-Platinum duet “wait in the truck” feat. Lainey Wilson. He also kinged the rock radio charts with “JACK,” and Top 5 single “SOLD OUT.” He's previously toured with Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean and Cole Swindell.
