Welcome to Hungary 2011...
From the clubs of obscurity to the high flying stadiums on tour with the mighty KISS, a debut album mixed by the respected Beau Hill followed by a well received second album 'Time Is Waiting For No One'. This Hungarian band in their short time have done it all, and they are going to do it again. On March 18th 2011 HARD are ready to burn some serious rubber with their brand new heavy 10 track mean machine 'EVEN KEEL'. A roller coast ride of heavy rockin' hooks cooked up with sweat and sinew. HARD are back and they are inviting you along for the ride. Written, recorded and mixed between Autumn 2010 and Spring 2011, the new songs demonstrate the band's progression in terms of playing and song writing whilst refining a wide range of different musical influences.'EVEN KEEL' is front man Björn Lodin's second album with the band, and here Lodin shines! The chemistry between Lodin and the lads is apparent right throughout the album. Joining the band for the first time is feisty guitar man Zsolt Vámos, who has also lent his hand in the song-writing department. HARD let it soar with no rules heavy rock laid out. 'Even Keel', recorded, mixed, mastered and produced by Björn Lodin, is the sound of a tightly tuned unit floored to max. This album totally rocks!
