Queer heartache is a unique experience, and one that Hit Like a Girl knows well. Drawing influence from pop, emo, indie and even hardcore, the band channels yearning, love and loss into intimate yet catchy music that may resonate with fans of Tigers Jaw, Future Teens, or Indigo De Souza.

Hit Like a Girl is the songwriting project of Nicolle Maroulis (they/them), joined by a rotating live lineup that now features Mol White (they/them) on synth and backing vocals, Mike Davis (he/they) on drums, Nat Lopatine (they/them) on bass, and rotating members on guitar.

Hit Like a Girl strives to represent trans and queer artists, and inspire them to follow their creative pursuits. In 2016 Maroulis founded No More Dysphoria, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created with the goal of helping transgender individuals pay for major aspects of their transition.
