Street Symphonies Records & Burning Minds Music Group are excited to announce all the details of “Harder Faster Glitter,” the first studio album by Italian glam metallers, Hot Rod.

The band states: “Harder Faster Glitter is a sonic kaleidoscope. Glam, the focal point of the record, splinters into multiple ‘chromatic’ shades: hard rock episodes alternate with heavier metal passages; reflective moments give way to unabashed, daring abandon. From the explosive energy of the early ’80s to the neon-lit glow of the late decade, and finally arriving at the streetwise abrasiveness of the early ’90s. It’s a record shaped by the sounds that shaped us growing up, where diverse souls coexist side by side, complementing one another.”

Hot Rod were formed in 2006. Their sound is an electrifying fusion of influences, spanning from the glittering 1980s – the Golden Age of the genre – to the raw edge of the 1990s. With two demos under their belt and a history of live performances across Italy and beyond, Hot Rod have become known for delivering explosive shows and an unapologetic attitude. 

“Harder Faster Glitter” is set for release on March 13, 2026. The first single, “Wasted,” with an official lyric video, will drop on January 19, 2026.
