What should people expect from a Hard To Explain show?
When you come to one of our shows you should expect a really energetic performance with hard-hitting melodic riffs. It’s always a good time and everyone has a lot of fun!
What are you working on right now?
Our new single came out on the 7th of June. It’s a collab with our boys in Von Loop and we are so excited to share it with everyone. ‘Pyrexia’ is available right now, link is in our bio!
Who would you like to support?
There are so many artists we would love to open for, but we find that anyone who is in the modern metal scene would be most similar in style to us. One band we’d love to open for is Bring Me The Horizon, we all feel our sound is really similar to theirs because of their electronic sound and their heavy riffs and they always put on amazing shows!
What was your lightbulb moment when you realised that you wanted to be musicians?
We all have our personal stories of when we realised that we wanted to be performers, but as a band we think our collective moment of realisation was when we had our debut UK tour, it really cemented that this is what we want to be doing and it showed us that we could do it full time.
What was the last gig you attended as a fan?
Ben’s most recent was Trivium.
Ebony went to see Tenacious D live in May.
Michael saw BMTH live about 4 times last year.
We all went to see some awesome gigs while we were on tour with our roster buddies and one of our absolute favourites was seeing Around 7 perform. They’re some lovely guys and are so talented!
