Try Hardz employ a collage-like approach on the infinitely colorful utterly fascinating “Dirtiest Camelot”. Impossible to truly define, Try Hardz defy categorization. Exploration becomes the utmost of importance while Try Hardz stretch and distort everything they possibly can. A loose, almost improvised feeling, takes hold over the course of the journey. Rhythms are upset as…
The rise and fall of legendary jazz musicians is an overlapping narrative of eras, styles, and historical moments. Thelonious Sphere Monk is one of the undisputed greatest American musicians of all time, though the journey to his legendary status was far from glamorous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KshrtLXBdl8 Monk was a “musician’s musician,” praised by the artistic community, but…

Try Hardz would be The Wrong Kind of Weird. Or, I don’t know, it’s like they’ve created a subgenre that’s literally…
There are some individuals out there that are just full of music. These people must constantly be finding outlets to release their creativity. When music is in the head it must escape out into the world or the artist will become insane with constant thoughts. Maybe the insanity remains slightly but that is what makes…
