We can safely say that over the last couple of years Hard Tomorrows are the local band we've probably seen the most live: at all the Cat Stages (but mostly the main), at DC9, ath the Red And The Black, at R'N'R, at Fort Reno (both rained out and not), basements of house parties, at our relaunch and portions of them at the last two Run for Covers. We also see them out, and about, and we always tend to hug.
It is sort of personal.
I mean, if you do a "hard tomorrows" search on BYT it is a jungle of posts out there
So here we are: in 4 days (this Saturday) The Hard Tomorrows are playing their last show ever. It is at the Red and The Black and it is your last chance to see them liveM.
Because kids, Hard Tomorrows is no more.
There is no gruesome story or scandal, just people going their own way, but that does not make us any less nostalgic about it.
So, we sat them down, took some photos, and threw a little listening party/audio scrapbook for you here.
Available to listen (and fully download-never say they did not love you back) is their (excellent) full length record AND their EP.
So now, on Saturday, collected works in hand, you won't have any excuse not to sing/dance along.
