HARSH Release New Single ‘Don’t Mess With Me’

HARSH are the new rising stars within the hard rock scene. The band from Paris revives their traditional sound with a modern twist and catchy melodies. Their songs and live shows strike with theatricality, paired with a rare sensitivity that forges a strong bond with the audience. Born from a deep friendship, the band succeeds in the bold challenge of combining musical power with emotional sincerity.

Today, HARSH release their brand new single „Don’t Mess With Me“ from their upcoming new album “Feels”. “This song captures the tension between strength and vulnerability in a passionate relationship. The chorus acts as both a warning and a plea, expressing a fierce, all-or-nothing kind of love that refuses to settle for less. “Don’t Mess With Me” opens with a striking guitar riff that instantly sets a bold, confident tone. We chose to carry that same riff across two contrasting atmospheres in the track, reflecting the duality of the character’s emotions: don’t mess with me… but don’t leave me be”, comments the band.

Following the success of their debut album “Out Of Control” (2022), and more than 300 shows played, including their tours along with a.o. THE NEW ROSES, ANVIL and CHRIS HOLMES (ex-WASP) across Europe and the UK, the French band is ready to release their second, new album called “Feels”, on July 3rd, 2026 through Fireflash Records (WOLF, FURIES, ROCK JUSTICE a.o.) and will carry their rock into every heart they encounter.

Hannes Braun, lead singer of KISSIN’ DYNAMITE, mixed and mastered the new album. A perfect match. “Working with Hannes Braun is kind of a dream for us. We love Kissin’ Dynamite’s music and sound and Hannes knows exactly how to get the best of each of our tracks. It’s always great and smooth to work with him”, adds Albert (Singer and guitarist). The overall result speaks for itself and gives the listener a good time, which is important nowadays more than ever. “For us, music is about expressing our feelings. It all comes down to creating a strong bond with the listener, on and off stage. This means everything to us.”

The lyrics on “Feels” are generally about life and things the four members experience or go through, about stories they hear and want to share. “We explore a variety of feelings on this album, simple ones such as falling in love or breaking up, but also mixed emotions that are harder to express, and are often disregarded. Here we’re talking about guilt, the need to find your place and your identity, helping someone going through grief, but also what binds us together: friendship.“

The band has huge plans and they have the songs. “Our next goal is to make “Feels” as unforgettable for others as it is for us, and we can’t wait to meet our community around the world.“
