    Big Loud Records/Big Loud Rock heavy hitter HARDY—crowned “Nashville’s nü-metal king” by the Los Angeles Times—continues to soar with the release of his highly anticipated new album QUIT!!. Out now to critical acclaim, the album adds to HARDY's nearly five billion career streams, with singles taking over radio charts across rock and country. HARDY's first full rock LP follows 2023's half-country, half-rock sophomore album the mockingbird & THE CROW, which debuted top five all-genre on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and topped seven additional Billboard charts in its first week, including Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Album Sales.

    The pride of Philadelphia, Mississippi has earned his reputation as “a promising purveyor of keeping the spirit of classic heavy Southern rock alive” (American Songwriter), “capable of writing the big hits for radio, obstinate enough to do something completely unexpected, and savvy enough to find the throughline for it all” (Rolling Stone). A five-time ACM award winner and two-time CMA Award winner, HARDY has also won three CMA Triple Play awards, was named the 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year and is a three-time AIMP Songwriter of the Year. HARDY has written 16 No. 1 singles including his own 3X Platinum chart topper “ONE BEER” featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson, the platinum Dierks Bentley and BRELAND collaboration “Beers On Me,” game-changing 3X Platinum duet “wait in the truck” feat. Lainey Wilson and first-ever rock radio No. 1 “JACK.” He’s previously toured with Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell, and more.

    Mikhail Laxton is an artist poised to join the ranks of Canada’s great singer-songwriters. Drawing inspiration primarily from the power of love, Laxton delivers his message through his unforgettable voice and funky acoustic melodicism. Laxton, who now calls Ottawa home, relocated to Canada’s capital from his native Australia four years ago after establishing his reputation as a contestant on Australia’s version of The Voice. It didn’t take long for Laxton to draw the attention of the Canadian music industry upon his arrival. He almost immediately found a writing partner in Maia Davies, who, in turn, introduced Laxton to her producer/business partner Gavin Brown (Billy Talent, Barenaked Ladies). Brown scheduled recording sessions in Morin Heights, Quebec, where Laxton’s basic tracks were fleshed out in arrangements that blur the lines between folk and R&B, without ever taking the focus off his effortless vocal ability. While songs such as “Hold On” and “Cheater,” showcase his fondness for vintage soul and potential to command large stages, the ballads “Wasting Our Time” and “Stay The Night” display Laxton’s troubadour side, offering intimate glimpses of blossoming relationships. His debut collection represents that it can indeed be too easy to connect with listeners when your music is simply an extension of who you are: honest, humble and soulful.
