Announced: The Hard Quartet – self-titled album + ‘Rio’s Song’

The Hard Quartet announce their eponymous debut album, out October 4th, and release new single and video, ‘Rio’s Song’ out now. Watch below!

“The ‘Rio’s Song’ video is The Hard Quartet’s homage to street rock in the hot afternoon and clowning around with lifer friends in downtown New York City. Director Jared Sherbert shot it guerrilla style on St Mark’s Place and in The International Bar on July 15 2024. It features local NYC artists, musicians, activists, skaters and icons who are dear to the band,” said the The Hard Quartet.

“After collaborating in various permutations and running into each other frequently on the road, the idea of making music together—by nobody’s rules but their own, distinct from any industry trends or standards—felt like a no-brainer.” Sweeney looks back in awe at the Hard Quartet’s first week of working together, during which they quickly amassed nearly an album’s worth of songs and settled into an identity that felt distinct.
