Happy release day to The Julie Ruin! Hit Reset, their highly-anticipated new record is finally out today on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats. Next Tuesday, July 12th, The Julie Ruin will perform live on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers and the band hits the road in support of Hit Reset starting next Thursday night in Chicago. The Julie Ruin’s music video for “I’m Done,” the first music video from Hit Reset. Director Laura Parnes’ clip for the band’s defiant, anthemic “I’m Done” features front-woman Kathleen Hanna teaming up with a gaggle of iconic iterations of her past self in a karaoke battle against haters everywhere.

In late 2014 The Julie Ruin began work on their second album, Hit Reset. Mixed by Eli Crews, Hit Reset expands on the band’s established sound: dancier in spots and moodier in others, with girl group backing vocals and even a touching ballad closer.Hit Reset is the sound of a band who have found their sweet spot. Kathleen Hanna’s vocals are empowered and her lyrics are as pointed and poignant as ever. From the chilling first lines of “Hit Reset” (“Deer hooves hanging on the wall, shell casings in the closet hall”) to the touching lines of “Calverton” (“Without you I might be numb, hiding in my apartment from everyone / Without you I’d take the fifth, or be on my death bed still full of wishes”), Hanna takes a leap into the personal not seen completely on the first album or possibly even in the rest of her work.

The Julie Ruin return with the second single from their forthcoming album “Hit Reset”. The new track  “I’m Done” weaves traces of primitive rock ‘n’ roll and girl-group pop into Kathleen Hanna’s confrontational punk-rock offensive, but whereas the prior single darkly stomped along into chaotic noise, this one bops like a B-52s-inflected beach party. Hanna’s distinctive rallying cry remains out front as always, riding high atop the surfy undercurrent with shout-along lyrics like “I’m sick of waiting around to be heard!” It’s rad, so press play and wild out. “I’m Done” is the second single from The Julie Ruin’s Hit Reset, out Friday, July 8th on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats from Hardly Art records

Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield wanders around South by Southwest in this lyric video for “I Decide,” the lead-off single from The Julie Ruin’s Hit Reset, our 7/8/16 on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats from Hardly Art records.

The Julie Ruin will release the follow up to 2013’s Run Fast album in July. Titled Hit Reset, the first single from it is this brilliant slice of stomping indie rock, I Decide. It somehow manages to be outrageously catchy while simultaneously sounding like an angry bunch of wasps trapped in a jam jar.
