Founded during their time at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Trophy Wife—made up of lead vocalist and songwriter McKenzie Iazzetta, Christian Pace on bass, and Michael Martelli on drums—are now based out of Brooklyn, New York and making a name for themselves. It’s been a year since the release of their debut album Get Ugly, and they’re fresh off of their first headlining tour. Trophy Wife are ready to hit you with something new that’s just so hard.
Today, Trophy Wife are debuting their video for the first new music they’ve put out since Get Ugly, the new single “So Hard.” With a touch of country twang combined with a bit of ’90s grunge and vocal stylings reminiscent of early Gwen Stefani, “So Hard” hits you as a gut punch with emotionally raw and vulnerable lyrics and a sense of nostalgia.
“‘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,” explains Iazzetta. “Is all the compromise worth the crumb of the fantasy you’re left with?”
