Hard (band)


Hard is a Hungarian hard rock supergroup formed in late 2004 in Budapest, Hungary by József Kalapács and Gábor Mirkovics. The rest of the band consisted of guitarist Zsolt Csillik, keyboardist Dénes Makovics and drummer Zoltán Váry.
In 2005, Ferenc Béres arrived to fill in the position of Dénes Makovics, who was a session member for the studio recording of the first release, “Égni kell”. He played in EDDA Művek and Fix beforehand. In 2007, Váry left because of the German success of KISS Forever Band, so Donászy arrived, who also played in e.g. Beatrice.
In 2007 Hard reformed for an international introduction with singer Zoltan Batky. The album Traveler was released in 2008. The material has since been remixed by the producer Beau Hill in 2008.
In 2009, Swedish vocalist and guitarist Björn Lodin was confirmed as the new singer for Hard. Björn is known for his work with Swedish rockers Baltimoore. Platinum-selling Hungarian guitar virtuoso Endre Csillag has also joined the ranks along with drummer Balázs Hornyák. The band start recording their new CD together in the Autumn with Björn Lodin also handling the production duties. The new, as yet untitled album, is scheduled for release on BLP Music, March 2010.
"Love Goes With Anything" is the debut single from the new line-up and was released in November 2009.
