NOW 2 OF 4 TIERS, WITH THE METAL TOP 10 SHOWCASE WITH BOTH "RUNAWAY AND TOYMAKER". RUNAWAY IS HOLDING AT NUMBER 4..TOYMAKER AT NUMBER 17. HOLDING STEADY ROCK TOP 40 SHOWCASE, ALL MOVING UP 2 OF 4 TIERS 21 - INSANE, 22 - SHADOW MAN, 23 - TOWER, 24 - AS FAR AS I CAN SEE Hello Frank & Teresa (HARD 8), What a Fantastic debut album. You have managed to put together an album of melodic magic. "Tower" has a musical blend that can only be found on Van Halen albums "II" and "Women And Children First". "Insane" is a blues lovers delight. Gina’s vocals brings me back to the ’80’s, and the great Pat Benatar (from my homeland of Long Island). My two personal faves are "The One For Me" the Journey sounding ballad, and "Shadow Man" is the song I found myself sing aloud in my car several times in a row. Franks guitar work is masterful throughout this entire album. With his brilliant George Lynch Dokken style rockers, to the tender acoustic shinings found on "As Far As I Can See" and "The One For Me". I can’t wait for the next album! Don’t be like BOSTON and wait 8 years between albums. STEEL 93 will began playing both "Shadow Man" and "The One For Me" starting this Saturday March 29th, and will air for the next 30 days. Great Stuff!!!! CHEERS!!!

One of my friends, Marnie, said something that I've been thinking which is "the lead singer sounds like a combination of Pat Benatar, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Jett and Heart". 03-20-08 WMAC ROCKS HARDEIGHT Hi Teresa, In addition to Too Far Gone, we are also currently playing Runaway. Too Far Gone is in heavy rotation (Top Spins) and Runaway in medium. We also have Insane, The One For me, Shadowman, and Elizabeth in a lighter rotation and we love them all. If you have more tracks you would like to get on the air, we would be more than happy to add those too. Just let us know.

HARD EIGHT are clearly inspired by classic 80s Melodic Hardrock, with strong similarities to SCORPIONS, DOKKEN and such, yet with an amazing female singer called GINA. Her voice gives the sound of HARD EIGHT an enormous push to a sensational level and especially during songs like “Run away”, “Elizabeth” and “Dark streets” HARD EIGHT sounds like the next big thing in our Melodic Hardrockgenre. I am even more surprised this band is still unnoticed and just a so-called local band, because they sound simply amazing. This is 80s Melodic Hardrock at it’s very best, just turn up the volume and rock out. Very much recommended to fans of LAOS, VIXEN, PHANTOM BLUE, DEVAY, HEAT, IF ONLY… Better check it out asap at: http://cdbaby.com/cd/hard8 and http://www.isound.com/hard_eight_ca and http://www.myspace.com/hardeight (Points: 8.4 out of 10) 01-06-07 ..

His vision and creativity is the drive behind the band. The urge to bring back the 80's rhythm and melodies to today's music, with the touches of a Jazz drummer to the mix. The band influences include Iron Maiden, Rob Halford and Dream Theatre just to name a few. This formed the unique sound known as Hard Eight. The band has come together to create a very unique blend of Rock with a Jazz touch. All songs are original.[link="URL"][link="URL"]
