The Hard Quartet share new single, "Our Hometown Boy"

“‘Our Hometown Boy’ shows why Jim White, Steve Malkmus and I are so stoked to be in a band with Emmett Kelly,” writes Sweeney. “It’s, like, fucked up how good Emmett is at music.”

“In ‘Our Hometown Boy,’ The Hard Quartet mythologizes the fierce inhabitants of our shared hovels and shangri-las from the vantage point of a beach famous for the undertow. A conversation about what paradise looks like peering out the window of a bar to a blizzard. Adventures in the skin trade. On the run and hitting the road. The green grass of home,” says Emmett Kelly.
