Hit Like A Girl

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 and backing tracks, 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.

Maroulis is a masterful and prolific songwriter. In the eight years since Hit Like a Girl’s inception in 2017, Maroulis has released 3 full length records (You Make Sense (2017), What Makes Love Last (2018), Heart Racer (2021)) and one EP (Becoming (2022)). The band has performed alongside the likes of Mom Jeans, Kississippi, Origami Angel, Pool Kids, and Prince Daddy and the Hyena, and has toured with acts including John-Allison Weiss and The Iron Roses.

On March 27, 2026, Hit Like a Girl are excited to release Burning at Both Ends, their most collaborative LP to date.
