Hard Times are in Fashion is the third studio album by the American indie rock band Koufax.

All tracks are written by Robert Suchan[3]The album received mainly positive reviews: "Hard Times are in Fashion ratcheted up the energy a bit, while also expanding their sonic palate with some pedal-steel.

"[4] - Waxing Nostalgic "While Jared Rosenberg's piano is omnipresent, it isn't abused in Ben Folds Five fashion or used as an overly sappy device à la Keane or Coldplay.

The album is infused with subtle political and social commentary, relating mostly to the war in Iraq, the Bush presidency, and foreigners' apparent increasing disgust with The American Way.

While its nervy pop songs are very much products of the current post-election depression, Koufax is more concerned with confronting a nation's mass apathy than outlining a revolution.
