At the beginning of 2019 the two longtime friends Martin Schultz (blank, Null Art) and Markus Münch (Baffdecks, The Bone Idles) finally found the time to start a band together, Hard Strike was born. After the first 2 songs were written, Markus contacted his old bandmate Maurice Müller for the drums and Martin his friend Dan Africa (Punch, I Recover) for the bass. As it became clear that a second guitar would advance the sound, Martin contacted Ken Olden (Battery, Better Than A Thousand) with whom he had become friends in recent years. After he gave him the first ideas, Hard Strike was complete. Despite the distance, Hard Strike managed to record 4 songs in different recording sessions in Karlsruhe, Cologne and DC. Final mix and master was done by Mike Schleibaum (Official Darkest Hour). It's gonna be released on a limited 7inch. (300 copies). These 4 songs are a tribute to the hardcore sound of the late 80's and early 90's. Street date feb. 28th 2020.
