“Robbie Kingsley’s voice is as smooth as ever, but sonically, an electric swagger permeates the track that not only holds our attention, but makes us want to move …”

“‘...an exciting taste of what can happen when The Hails get together. The frenetic single builds quickly into a solid pop-rock track, with a driving drumbeat and warm guitar line that adds lush layers to the song.”

The Hails today release their slinky, moody new single “Fool.” Showing off the effortless weft of Franco Solari and Robbie Kingsley’s distinct vocals, the two have a serpentine ability to play off each other, guided by a grooving bass line. While recording and producing “Fool” with Brandon Shoop (Role Model, Junior Varsity), The Hails gravitated towards D'Angelo's “Brown Sugar” and Maroon 5's Songs About Jane as sonic references — Stream.  “‘Fool’ speaks to when we choose to play the fool in our relationships, deceiving ourselves about truths about our partner that we choose to deny, even though we may know better,” shares Solari.  Painting the scene that the new song lives in, Kingsley says, “‘Fool’ makes you feel like you've walked into a leopard-print room with your best leather jacket on and been greeted by a waitress holding a martini. You think you've made it to heaven, but she ends up throwing the drink in your face just for the hell of it. But you kind of like that.”

In today’s official video for “Fool” directed by Stephen Konnovitch of Cultivision, the band is sharpening their pinsetting skills in hopes of landing a job at Duckpond Alley. Even though the job is obsolete and automated, they’re convinced that the pendulum of society will swing back the opposite direction and need their talents. Facing rejection, they head back to performing on the rooftop, fearing it’s time to pack it up and go home — Watch.  Kicking off in October, The Hails will head out on their headline Duckpond Tour with highlights including Brooklyn, NY’s Elsewhere (Oct. 29), Echoplex in LA (Nov. 14), and a triumphant return to their home state of Florida for shows in Miami (Nov. 20) and Tampa (Nov. 21).
