Hardship Post (later The Hardship Post) was a Canadian alternative rock band, that formed in St. John’s, Newfoundland and moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, during the Halifax Pop Explosion of the early 1990s.
The band originally consisted of vocalist and guitarist Sebastian Lippa, bassist Mike Pick and drummer Matt Clarke. Initially signed to Murderecords, they released the EPs Mood Ring and Hack in 1993, and undertook their first cross-Canada tour to support the recordings.
They then signed to Sub Pop, which released their full-length album Somebody Spoke in 1995. Around that time Clarke left the band, and was replaced by Alyson MacLeod of Jale.
Hardship Post won as Best Alternative Band at the 1994 East Coast Music Awards, and were nominated for the same award in 1996. At the Juno Awards of 1996, Somebody Spoke was a nominee for Best Alternative Album.
The band broke up in 1997.
