Genre defying is one way THE HARA have been described by numerous others but to me that’s just the start of the sound of something quite special.
The 3-piece formed from an advertisement bringing together a multitude of influences and sounds, consisting of frontman Josh Taylor, Zack Breen on guitar and Jack Kennedy on drums.
‘Bite Down’ on first listen bought me back to the first time I’d heard Cardiff hip-hop/rap outfit Astroid Boys which then closely followed up with Brighton based rock 2 piece Royal Blood joined by St Albans very own Enter Shikari and if that’s not a whirlwind tour of the UK music scene then I challenge anyone to tell me otherwise.
The HARA already amass a huge back catalogue of tracks ranging back to 2018 including iTunes most listened indie rock influenced ‘Be Somebody’ lyrically driven roaring rock banger ‘Off The Edge’, hugely successful social commentating cracker ‘Tramp Brain’ and recent ‘Play Dead’ EP opener ‘Until It Happens’ co-written alongside You Me At Six’s Max Heyler.
At this point I’m feeling a little late to the party knowing The HARA have already topped multiple online charts, narrowly missing out on numbers 1s because of Artic Monkeys, but here I am. With a total 18.5k followers on Twitter, 14k subscribers on YouTube and an ever growing loyal fan base (Just the mention of them on my own Twitter produced 20+ retweets) it’s not an if but when The HARA hit the road that they’ll start to make even bigger waves.
