A couple months back Leeds band Party Hardly shared their single ‘Terry Shure’, which is taken from their upcoming debut EP ‘Cycle Of Life’. The group now tackles the topic of gender with their latest track ‘Football’. Produced by MJ of Hookworms, the lush and bubbling etching of alternative is glazed with a layering of pop that is a feel-good listen whilst delving into a serious topic.

In regards to the track, Party Hardly stated:

“Football was written about general gender inequality, referring to how the unequal treatment or perception of individuals – wholly or partly due to their gender – is still very much prevalent in our western, spangled society. With our women’s national and club teams not receiving anywhere near the amount of pay/coverage that the men’s do, the future of our beloved sport depends on the effort we put in now.”
