Leeds band Party Hardly have released their sophomore EP 'Modern Strife is Snobbish'. Consisting of four songs, the record features the previously shared cuts 'The Hopskotch Man' and 'Rats In The Kitchen'.

The storytelling element of the EP is utterly captivating, as the sing-along hooks add a balance of lightheartedness to the songwriting.
