TROPHY WIFE – “SO HARD”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
Formed in the DIY basement scene during their time at Berklee College of Music in Boston, the now Brooklyn-based indie rock trio Trophy Wife have quickly become a standout ensemble. The band is the brainchild of lead vocalist and songwriter McKenzie Iazzetta, and features Christian Pace on bass and Michael Martelli on drums.
Following their first headline tour, the rising rockers aren’t slowing down yet. Their highly anticipated upcoming single “So Hard” arrives nearly a year after their debut album Get Ugly — a raw, triumphant nod to ’90s angst that blends Iazzetta’s haunting vocals and unflinching lyricism with the band’s heavy-hitting, head-banging melodies.
Nestled somewhere between the blistering alt-country of Wednesday and the vulnerable confessions of Blondshell, “So Hard” asks: “What am I willing to give up in order to get what I want?” . It’s about making peace with the parasite that’s been eating you alive – an olive branch extended from the bedroom floor. Iazzetta’s seductive whisper and evocative twang are front and center, a signature of what sets Trophy Wife apart.
Iazzetta shares, “So Hard is about wishing things could be as simple as they are in your head, and the bargaining you’re willing to do to get what you want. Is all the compromise worth the crumb of the fantasy you’re left with?”
“So Hard” marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Trophy Wife—one soaked in alt-rock drama, grunge grit, and emotional clarity, with a polished, confident finish.
“So Hard” is out October 24th via all DSPS.
