Love Harder will be expanding its roster when we put out Curious Hands' "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". Sixteen mythological punkt up wall to dance party wall songs in under twenty minutes! It will be the album which shifts your paradigm just enough to induce dance!
Community building:
Love Harder started out as a slogan after the demise of the American Electoral System. We felt a need to spread a positive message into the world. We made tee shirts, fliers, banners, stickers, graffitti and spread them for free wherever we could. Since then we decided to spread the idea into music. We make 50 copies or fewer of each release and give them away at the celebration release parties. The artists retain all rights to the msuic. This is a one time release.//
Our goal is to offer music made mostly at home by artists who are working on songs. An In-the-process sort of music making. We are not interested in clean, over-produced music. We want the artist in the act of creation. This comes mostly from songwriters working inbetween their full-time band projects.//
We also hope to start publishing. We are interested in political zines, pamphlets, poetry, stories, etc. Of course, we want the content to reflect our motto, Love Harder.
If you are interested in participating in any of the above, please contact us.
