The Hard Way are taking 2009 by the throat and giving it a good shake to see what falls out of it's pockets....
The Hard Way are- Dave Miles on guitar and vocals, Fish
on bass and vocals, and Darren McCarthy on drums.
They have received radio airplay in Melbourne with tunes from their
2004 EP "... You and the Horse You Rode in on", and their numerous promo
singles.
Be prepared for a turbo-charged, diesel-fuelled rampage through rock,
blues and country as The Hard Way play tunes from their EP, and their
forthcoming full-length album "These Blue Miles", along with a truckload
of songs from artists such as Paul Kelly, Steve Earle, The Stones, Hank
Williams, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, The Clash, The Georgia
Satellites, and many, many more.
So bring your dancin' shoes, your best drinkin' shirt... oh, and don't
forget the earplugs....
