Written in response and protest to a controversial Summer hit cowboy song « Try That In A Small Town » by one Jason Aldean—that essentially supported Donald Trump’s hate rhetoric and racism by being filmed outside of Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tenn. the area was the site of the lynching of an 18-year-old Black teenager and showed images of flag and cross burnings— »Hard-Luck Parade » is a cowpunk tune all about anti-bigotry.
It’s a song we need more than ever now as an air of confusion is quickly consuming America. So who better to lead the charge than Canadian, Matthew Kliewer co-founder of the Fast Romantics?
It’s angsty and similar to another parade hit, « Ramshackle Day Parade » by Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros.
