George Hirsch is an American musician who performs as a vocalist in the hardcore band Blacklisted and solo folk project under the moniker Harm Wülf. He was originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but later moved to Chicago, Illinois.^[2][3]

When his previous band broke up, George Hirsch co-founded the hardcore punk band Blacklisted in 2003.^[4]

After Blacklisted released the more experimental album No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me in 2009—an album with lyrics born out of Hirsch's struggles with depression^[5]—the band entered an undeclared hiatus state as each member focused on their respective new families and lives.^[1] In this downtime, Hirsch launched his solo project Harm Wülf, a stripped down semi-acoustic act that's often described as "dark folk".^[3][6][7] He released his debut album as Harm Wülf titled There's Honey In the Soil So We Wait for the Till... in November 2013 through Deathwish Inc.^[8]

Three years later, Harm Wülf released its second studio album Hijrah in August 2016 through Deathwish.^[6] Hirsch has said he felt like his debut album was more of a demo in some ways and that Hijrah felt like a more proper album.^[9] The album's title is a reference and alternate spelling of Hegira, which was the event when Muhammad and his followers traveled from Mecca to Medina.^[3] The lyrics of the album deal feelings of isolation and loneliness after moving to Chicago and only knowing his girlfriend and also healing through escape.^[3][9] The album's cover art is a photo of the Solheimasandur plane crash in Iceland taken by Hirsch himself and chosen as the cover because it fit the theme of the album. Hirsch said: "I was torn at first because it is such a recognizable attraction. But, in the end it fit the album/feel so well. It lends itself perfectly to escape, exile, and the abandon I've felt, before ultimately learning the survival I needed. While writing the album I also had an obsession with this certain color; it's a blue, but has hints of green and purple as well."^[9]

Recent years have seen Hirsch releasing solo music under his home recording moniker "Rose Clouds", and a return to his roots in a hardcore punk band called "Staticlone".^[10]

Aside from music, Hirsch has had short stories and his amateur photography published. The story "Goodnight" in the Heartworm Press compilation "#23" ^[11] and Roger Gastman compiled book "Enamelized" and movie "Infamy",^[12] being most notable.
