The Hardkiss / The Hara - Team up for a killer collaboration

May 21st 2026

Single Release

What a great team-up!!!

Ukraine Rockers The Hardkiss have collaborated with The Hara, on their sixth single, 'I Love You'. The song is the only UK / Ukraine feature on The Hardkiss’ album 'Grey Hound' which is due to be released on the 11th of June. The track marks a further evolution in the band’s sound toward heavier, Industrial-driven modern Rock. Formed in 2011, 'I Love You' fuses metal and industrial elements into a dark, high-intensity love song about emotional dependency. The track is built on stark vocal contrast: Josh Taylor (The Hara) delivers aggressive, raw vocals while Julia Sanina provides melodic counterweight, creating tension between vulnerability and force.

The Hardkiss will support the release with major 2026 festival appearances including Wacken Open Air, Greenfield Festival, Full Metal Cruise, and Escalation Fest, followed by a European headline tour. The Hardkiss are one of Ukraine’s most prominent modern Rock acts, known for arena-scale performances, award-winning releases, and international touring across Europe and North America.

The Hara released their latest album 'The Fallout', to critical acclaim in January. Their raucous genre mash-up of Alternative Rock, Metalcore, and Emo has seen them dive headfirst into the live circuit, picking up support slots with pop-punk giants Sum 41 / Nothing More / Escape the Fate / As December Falls and Ice Nine Kills.

They've exploded across the festival circuit; Download / Slam Dunk / 2000 Trees / Kendal Calling / TRNSMT / Tramlines / Truck / Boomtown Fair and an incredible main stage set at both Reading and Leeds Festival, as well as main stage performances at Rock for People and Mighty Sounds Festival in the Czech Republic. This summer they will be playing Bospop (Netherlands), Radar (UK), Slavnosti (Czech Republic), Nu_Blood festival (Poland), Mangata (Nottingham). Tickets are available from: Here.
