Band Spotlight: Hit Bargain – ‘Queencore’ Tilly McCarthyMarch 3, 201627 viewsMusic0 Comments27 views Hit Bargain are the progenitors of a new genre — “ queencore“, the intersection of queer, queening and hardcore. They are as much a part of the LA underground, as an answer to it. Their debut self-titled EP will be released March 25th. Their single “Circuits That Cannot Be Cut” is a reimagining of the major motion picture, Die Hard, disguised as wry social commentary on gun and police violence. Bruce Willis is their spirit animal because he represents the sensitive everyman, called upon to be a hero–much in the way that Hit Bargain’s feminist anthems are a call to awareness for their listeners. Hit Bargain is comprised of Nora Singh (vocals) Mike Barron (guitar and vocals), Anton Hochheim (drums), and Mike Stoltz (bass). Their collective resume includes These Are Powers, North Highlands, Teenage Waistband, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Tilly McCarthy Click here to follow Hit Bargain on SoundCloud.
