Out of Brighton, UK, Harker formed in 2015, forging a blistering sound live and later on their debut singles “Flex Yr Head” and “Dead Ends.” Harker’s sound is immediate and powerful, with melodically distorted guitars, lyrics that tell a story, and intelligible vocals to match. In 2021 their debut long player, Axiom, was released with a darker sound.
Not content writing only about love relationships, Axiom finds Harker mixing in social commentary and a bit of bile into their lyrics. Harker’s just released single “Out The Window” delivers a blistering volley of sound in response to the threat caused by climate change.
Harker’s previous single “Wasting Time” is a catchy punk anthem, with 2022’s EP Live At Southsea Sound catches their lightning in a bottle with minimal studio tricks.
I’m looking forward to hearing more, and finding out more about this talented band.
