Happy May Day, everyone! Appropriately enough, we’re premiering today “Stay True,” 67 seconds of anthemic, inspiring punk from SF band Hard Left. The group is comprised of veterans who’ve played in bands like Boyracer and Black Tambourine, including Mike Schulman of Slumberland Records, and We Are Hard Left arrives in May.

The group celebrated the release of the new album last night in San Francisco, and, after a quick trip to LA tonight, they’ll be celebrating in Oakland on Saturday. Hard Left’s name should suggest that politics are front and center, and “Stay True” shows how timeless an inspiring punk anthem can be. “There’s nothing we can’t do if we STAY TRUE!”
