The Wolffs launched their careers in Nickelodeon’s Naked Brothers Band and have continued making music since their departure from the network. They released their most recent album, Table for Two in 2023.
Towa Bird, however, is a newer artist, having released her first single, “Wild Heart,” last year. She wrapped up opening for Renée Rapp on the “Snow Hard Feelings Tour.” Her debut album is titled American Hero (ironic considering that the singer is British).
The Marías released their first album, Cinema, in 2016, and their most recent album, Submarine, was released in 2024. The band is made up of the lead vocalist, María Zardoya, drummer Josh Conway, guitarist Jesse Perlman, and keyboardist Edward James.

All of these artists have a special indie style and voice that pairs well with Eilish’s signature soft spoken, lyrical style. Hit Me Hard and Soft is the 22-year-old’s third studio album and maintains for her poetic and often emotional style of writing, her care for the environment, and her inspired sense of style.
The “Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour” takes off on September 29 and will travel from Quebec to San Jose, California.
