There is a long list of great hardcore bands that came out of Texas and Hardside is to make sure that flame never dies! Taking cues from bands such as Merauder, Life Of Agony and Madball, Hardside blends fast, aggressive riffs with a tight groove and sick hooks. The band is currently on tour across USA so make sure you check them out if they come any near your town.

How did you all meet and how long have you all been a band?

I guess it would be there is so many new bands and alot of bands touring so just getting out there and people giving us a chance.
What's the biggest wall to get over?
Probably it would be touring it s hard to tour when your a smaller bandwhen your doing it on your own its even harder.

And where do you draw your inspiration from when it comes to the lyrics?
Lots of different things man, past experiences to just things going on in the world today.
Tell me about band's performance element – what should kids expect from your live show?
