In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by The HARA for a deep dive into their latest album The Fallout. The band open up about the emotional weight behind the record, exploring the personal experiences, honesty, and intensity that drive their songwriting and define their sound.

The conversation unpacks their collaboration with vocalist Bethany Hunter of As December Falls, discussing how working together shaped the album’s themes and added a new dynamic to the material. The HARA reflect on how vulnerability and shared experiences have become a powerful creative force, helping The Fallout stand out as their most open and emotionally resonant release to date.

The band also talk about their rise within the alternative and rock scene, the cathartic release of performing live, and what the future holds as they continue to build momentum. And, of course, no Ampocalypse episode would be complete without throwing them into a hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario — debating the ultimate apocalypse soundtrack and how they’d face humanity’s final moments with humour, chaos, and loud guitars.
