“Hard Luck” by Don’t Tell John hits like a shot of whiskey chased with pure adrenaline. From the first crack of the drums and snarling guitar licks, the track grips you with its gritty southern-rock swagger and refuses to let go.
The bass rumbles deep and dirty, setting the stage for an infectious groove that drives straight through the heart of the song. Every riff feels alive—especially those tasty electric guitar runs in the verses that add flashes of color and keep the energy surging.
Then there’s the guitar solo breakdown—bold, unapologetic, and beautifully unrestrained. It gives lead vocalist Veronica Larkin the perfect space to ride the rhythm and unleash her powerhouse delivery. Her growls, belts, and raw emotion channel the spirit of Janis Joplin, commanding attention with every word. It’s bluesy, fiery, and magnetic—rock at its most authentic and soul-stirring.
“Hard Luck” proves why Don’t Tell John’s fans describe their sound as a female-fronted Soundgarden. With its hard edges, sultry groove, and sheer power, this track is a sonic roller coaster that leaves you breathless. Don’t miss your chance to feel it for yourself—stream “Hard Luck” now and turn the volume all the way up.
