HARD & HEAVY UK POWERHOUSE
HARD STUFF
BOLEX DEMENTIA
USA - Mercury Records SRM -1 - 663
SCARCE 1973 original USA pressing that was never really 'around' much of the second HARD STUFF album, a wirey guitar crunching groover with power rhythms and infectious original material...these guys only lasted for two albums but were surely a classic UK heavy sound that demands to be heard...
A heavy but melodic power trio with a great reputation. Paul Hammond had previously played in Atomic Rooster, John Gustafson had been in Quatermass and John Cann's previous band was Atomic Rooster and prior to that the mighty Andromeda....John Cann, the guitarist for Hard Stuff, came hot off the heels of , a hard driving prog rock group led by keyboardist mastermind, Vincent Crane. Hard Stuff's Bulletproof, which was released under Deep Purple's Purple Label in 1972, was considerably heavier than Atomic Rooster, Quatermass or Andromeda, with thick mounds of aggressive guitar chords and lightning fast leads. The music itself is very rooted in the early 70' s old heavy sound. Hard Stuff is more raw, gritty, and not filtered through big production values and commercialism. Songs on the album like the hard hitting feast 'Sick 'N Tired' or the driving heavy "Get Lost", convey a sense of soul, strength, and edginess which seem to be missing in most of today's contemporary hard rock music. To sum up, if you want to experience the vintage sounds of of an obscure long-haired, 70's heavy rock group with a killer rating, then this is it.
