Four piece idiots who have been so wrapped up with there debut album that it has taken nearly four years to find the sound they liked and stick with it. Well...finally the album is done and the lads are workin together to piece a great icon vidclip together.
HARM members have freeflow jammed together on and off for near ten years now, so were are gettin up there with the oldies almost....na....not friggin likely. We just never took it seriously enough until the last few years but have been blessed to get funding to build a studio...buy the shit and record....like a hundred times it feels like. All good....fingers warmed up for the good exposure gigs now and Harmsters will be hitting the road in the next coupla months for there first national tour of NBZ (NEW BLOODY ZEALAND)....Friggin Yay! Look Out for the HARM self titled album....out real soon!!! H-Bomb (keyboards)
YEAh bro kinda feels like that aye!!! ha ha, we have since gone through a number of transitional changes, all of them being for the better ,we decided not so long ago to add some spice and mix it up a little, as hadman said what started as a 4 piece in a dirty old mud shed, and a couple of beers and many jams, we soon realised that we actually had something going, we have since turned and evolved into a six piece, and have been experimenting with a lot of different genres ,including classic 70"s rock,funk ,progressive country rock,ska,jazz,roots reggae and of course metal,its so damn hard to describe our sound or influences to people, as it is such a mixed bag ,with a multitude of vocals and harmonies, 2 guitarists,bass ,drums and keyboards,we have been indulging in the pleasures of tasting many styles, and thus not limiting our sound to one specific genre, we are now ready to release our debut album for may 2007 with 12 tracks covering many differnt genres so have a listen to our material and see what you think
Kia Kaha, and keep it green kiwis :-)

HARM debut release may 2007 Posted: Wed May 2, 2007 4:47 am Well hows it going there avid music fans/musicians/and solo performing artists,firstly I would like to thank the whole team here at muzic.net for providing us with such a great site to be a part of,I just wanted to share a few words about our debut album hitting stores this month,boy its been a long arduous journey for the lads of HARM,we have gone through many ups and downs trying to cut this album,But as the old saying go's nothing good will come without hard work or effort,and s**t we have put that in,The whole recording process for us was rather painfull it kinda felt like we were sam wise frodo and golumn carrying the ring of power to the firey top of mount doom in moordor,but yeha!!! we made it,and our efforts have paid off,well in satisfaction for completeing the album anyway and independently( but with a lot of help) so its been a big learning curb for all the lads,itr was a time of flared tempers and a lot of song disecctions to get the sound we were after,I truley dont think the album will leave us guys feeling 100% happy with the finished product,but hey we are fussy buggers and just want it to be the best it can be,I know its premature for me to say, but we are already working on the follow up album,now with 6 members to HARM and a whack load of jams and ditties that have been on the back burner for ages,our musical direction has evolved over the last decade and it seems a long time for us guys to be just spitting out our first album(which I am excited about) but its the new material which has really got me fizzing out the buttocks!!!!,and I cant wait to spring it on willing ears,at this stage we have 2 gigs organised for late june in Queenstown, and its so hard organising to play venues through out NZ (thanks Hadliegh us guys will all chip in for the toll calls bro!!!! just put it on our tab!!!) But it has been so rewarding for us to interact with well established bands and musicians that have offered us advice,direction,suggestions and good will and most of all support,thats the thing that makes me proud to be a kiwi from godzone is musically regardless of genre we are all part of the music family and that blows me away there are some very very talented people in this country and its such a priveledge to be influenced by these awesome people,well Im gona stop rabiting on now its time foe a nice cup of tea and some weet-bix to kick start the day if you feel inclined take a peek at some of the songs we posted here have a listen and see what ya think any feed back is always welcome bear in mind these are NOT the final versions only dry recordings,but hey cheers to all keep it green awesome kiwis and go hard for NZ music month PEACE :-) Russ HARM |
