There are bands that make music—and there are phenomena that define an era. Over the past 15 years, The HARDKISS has evolved from a stylish hidden gem into one of the most powerful exports of the modern alternative scene. Worldwide tours and numerous YUNA Music Awards mark their journey. But the band is now poised to embark on its most monumental chapter yet.
Behind their success lies not only a powerful sound but also the charisma of frontwoman Julia Sanina. Whether as a judge on *The Voice*, a voice actress for *S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2*, or co-host of the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool—her presence is immense. Since 2022, however, The HARDKISS’s music has been more than just art: it is a voice, a source of comfort, and a manifesto of hope. As a cultural ambassador, Julia gives her country’s strength a global voice.
“Her music has long been more than just aesthetics—it is the language through which Ukraine speaks to the world.”
Following a creative hiatus and the single “Crush,” the new studio album is on the horizon. The band is shedding the polished and embracing raw, unbridled energy:
To mark their 15th anniversary, the band is going all out: a new album, a new live show, a major European tour as headliners, and a performance on the Main Stage at the legendary Wacken Open Air. The HARDKISS are back—loud, dark, and stronger than ever.
