Apr 12, 2016 By Joshua M. Miller The Julie Ruin

The Julie Ruin announced recently that they signed to Hardly Art and will be releasing their their label debut Hit Reset on July 8th. Hit Reset is The Julie Ruin’s first full-length since 2013’s Run Fast and the release of the biographical documentary The Punk Singer. The band has also shared the lyric video for the album’s first single “I Decide.” The video was directed by Brendan Kennedy and stars Waxahatchee‘s Katie Crutchfield as she listens to the song for the first time at SXSW.

Of Hit Reset’s subject matter, Kathleen Hanna says, “I was way more honest lyrically on this record because we’d been on the road together and I felt more confident taking risks in front of my bandmates,” adding “I’ve written about my personal bouts with illness, abuse, sexism and how hard it is for me to walk away from people even when they are toxic Tasmanian Devils before, but not in this way.”
