French hard rock rising stars Harsh have returned with a brand-new single and video, “Back To Life”, marking the start of the pre-order campaign for their highly anticipated second album, Feels. Set for release on 3rd July 2026 via Fireflash Records, the album follows the success of their 2022 debut Out of Control.
The new track is an intimate exploration of healing and emotional recovery. “This song tells the story of someone struggling to feel again after going through the darkest moments of his life,” the band shares. “Through a contrast between melancholic verses and a luminous chorus, it explores emotional numbness, healing, and support”.
For the new record, the Parisian quartet teamed up with Hannes Braun, lead singer of Kissin’ Dynamite, who handled the mixing and mastering. Vocalist and guitarist Albert Arnold noted that working with Braun was a “dream” and that he “knows exactly how to get the best out of each of our tracks”.
