Hello Frank & Teresa, HARD EIGHT

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. Giina'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!!!

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.

Thanks, Mark

Hard Eight review on StrutterZine Magazine

I was very surprised when I put on the CD of this Los Angeles based band, because it sounded very impressive. 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:

Hi Guys,

Nicky here from Fireworks Magazine in the UK.

I am interested in writing about your music for my feature "The Music Is Out There", I enjoyed the samples I heard here on myspace. I'm musically very open minded and even though we are a hard rock magazine I like to feature diverse music, which is what I'm into.

We sell over 3000 copies & the magazine can be bought at Virgin Megastores & Borders Bookshops here in the UK & various outlets throughout Europe as well as downloadable PDF versions.

"As far as I can see" was purchased through "Itunes-UK", thanks to CDBABY in Dec.

More great comments about us!

For all of your Rock lovers, the band Hard Eight got a song purchase of "Elizabeth" this week from the ITunes-Uk. That's great, since the song was inspired after watching the movie "Elizabeth" after Queen Elizabeth.

Fan comment:

Love ya!!
Jade

Hard Eight was founded in January of 2001 by Frank Marrero. 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.
