Hard-Off is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock band Bloodhound Gang, released on December 18, 2015. It marks the band's first full-length studio release since 2005's Hefty Fine. It is also the group's first studio album with ex-A members Daniel P. Carter and Adam Perry, although Carter and Perry had performed on miscellaneous non-album tracks. Between August 8, 2014 and September 3, 2015, five singles were released to promote the album: "Chew Toy", "American Bitches", "Dimes", "Clean Up in Aisle Sexy", and "Uncool as Me".
The album was released on CD, vinyl, and digital download via bandleader Jimmy Pop's label Jimmy Franks Recording Company. It is only available for sale via the Bloodhound Gang website.
The album had been planned for release at various dates under the title Getting Laid on a School Bus, which would also include the two tracks "Altogether Ooky" and "Screwing You on the Beach at Night" the band had released as non-album singles. There were also rumours that the record would be called Fishin' for Hookers.
On October 22, 2007, the Bloodhound Gang released a single called "Screwing You on the Beach at Night", which was accompanied by a video based on the one for Chris Isaak's 1990 single "Wicked Game". The group played a few shows in the UK and appeared on German TV to promote it.
In October 2008 Lupus Thunder quit the band; this was announced in a blog post on the band's MySpace by bassist Evil Jared.Daniel P. Carter from A replaced Lupus as the lead guitarist. Carter has since stylized his name as Denial P. Cartier when performing with the band.
Jimmy Pop announced during a radio interview in Boston that the band was working on a new album that would feature around 10-12 songs. Many news agencies reported that the name of the album would be called Getting Laid on a School Bus with a now likely release date of 2012. On December 4, Jimmy Pop recently announced that he "just narrowed 25-30 demos down to 10-12 to finish".
In late 2010, the band released a new song called "Altogether Ooky". The music video is on YouTube. On March 31, Jimmy Pop confirmed via Twitter that the band was currently working on the album, but it would not be called Getting Laid on a School Bus but instead be called Fishin' for Hookers.
