Hard Up , the tenth studio album by Melbourne-based funk and soul powerhouse , stands as a landmark release that celebrates over two decades of musical excellence. Released in May 2021, the album is widely regarded as a "back to basics" masterclass, blending the raw, stripped-back energy of the band’s early deep-funk roots with the refined songwriting and high-fidelity production of their later years.
