Stephen Malkmus, Matt Sweeney, Emmett Kelly and Jim White are The Hard Quartet.
Collectively covering musical ground as members of Pavement, Dirty Three, Bonnie Prince Billy, Ty Segall, Chavez and more, these four musicians selflessly merge, and emit a rock ’n’ roll sound that is familiar but new in a fantastic blend.
Their eponymous debut album brings together years of collective influence, inspiration and inhibition. As a first effort it’s an instant classic.
“This just seems like a really good band for us all to be in for the foresee able future. We’ll go until the wheels fall off. I can’t think of three better guys than these three guys. There’s something sweet and solid about the vibe.” - M.S.
Don’t miss the debut tour of The Hard Quartet, live this January.
