Hard Girls [2009] Hello

Truthfully this record is probably more like something you would see on CTS, but for the sake of diversity i will indulge you. This band plays something between the raspy vocals and hard rock feel you should expect from Indie Rock outfits, while also infusing the uptempo punk drum beats you might expect from my Punk Emo posts of late. Mostly i want to say this is a super fun summer feel EP, that's fucking infectious and a steady high. Anyway they have a blog where you can keep up with the band, although they haven't updated it in a while :( In my opinion this record is pretty fantastic and they have it linked up for free, which is always cool, so check out their sweet merch pronto. Cheers.

I don't feel like writing much right now, just take my word for it these guys are pretty fucking great. Clean vocals from Connor Oberst who you might know from Bright Eyes, if that is starting to turn you off don't worry this does not sound like that band. You can expect heavy distortion, solid drumming, and clean breakdowns. If you want to buy this, i don't know look on amazon or something. Check this out, these nine songs are certainly worthy of your time.
