Raw, bombastic pop with gritty acoustic guitars, keys and city rhythms placing it somewhere between Manchester and Motown.

.....Hardison, an up and coming band with a charismatic lead singer and a mid-90's rawk edge
that sounds fresh all over again....
kevin phinney entertainment journalist
......ringing guitars, jazz-inflected keyboard fills, and a rhythm section that responds in kind. For
them, instrumental showboating is counterproductive; the song is their muse, and soaring
above it all are the unvarnished vocals of Hardyrock. It's a unique instrument of
communication, vulnerable and yet strong and true; delivering songs of triumph and defeat,
reflection and rebirth.
We're at ToST this Saturday with the Funkscribe's Family Affair ($4) and at the J&M on Sunday (No cover! Drink specials!)... Come get your groove on with us!
