about

Hard Rocket weaves a musical tapestry, a Rock-n-Roll timeline spanning multiple decades, seamlessly shifting from classic to alternative rock, country, punk, and even psychedelic jams. As children of the ‘70s and ‘80s, their musical lexicon is vast and varied and their live performances showcase a wide expanse of knowledge. Frontman, vocalist, and guitarist, Joel, comfortably connects with the crowd through both his song lyrics and stage banter. His interactions with lead guitarist, Rod, are effortless and entertaining as they playfully dual with their guitars. Rod’s solos are well executed and his youthlike energy embodies his passion for performing. Bassist, Didier, unassumingly commands respect with his hard-driving basslines and drummer, Ari, impressively holds down a steadfast, rhythmic beat, solidifying the band’s fearless foundation. “It’s like playing with your friends on the playground,” muses Ari.
