Hardland released HOT and Beefed up cover of 80s mega pop hit Come Back And Stay!

HARDLAND presents their brand new single: COME BACK AND STAY!

The band chose to breath new life into a very wellknown 80s mega pop hit. And alive and kickin’it is!!

Paul Young’s version may have had funky bassloops en dancing girls and a very poppy and denceable character,  HARDLAND chose a whole new and different approach. The song got totally rearranged by Aeilko Venema and mixed by  Dick Kok, who was able to add some balls to the track! Of course they had it mastered at Abbey Road London by the legendary engineer Sean Magee!

Some of the responses on social media on their new release: “This is BRILLIANT!! A masterclass in how covers should be done. Love it!”,  “Hell of a cover Guys! #paulyoung 🤘🤘 – wicked sound!”,  “Dammed this song is really good. That production sound so clear. Love it!!”,  “Guys… that‘s f*****g awesome. Great version of this iconic track.” 

Go check it out on your favorite streaming platform.

On December 5th HARDLAND released their first Christmas single.

It is a complete re-arrangement from the old classic by British Glamrockers Slade: Merry X-mas Everybody. The guys from HARDLAND together with producer Dick Kok from LAB3 Studio’s delivered a great and fresh sounding new version. Opening with an a-capella intro and with a Beatle-easque vocal middle section the song has been given that typical HARDLAND sound which offered the wellknown track a whole new and second life.

Go check it out on your favorite streaming platform, or order the single as of next week through the webshop of the band.

Merry X-mas Everybody!

HARDLAND’s newest video, Haunted, premiered worldwide on Halloween (October 31st) through the band’s own YouTube channel. Also in support of their second album, In Control, released in late 2019.

The team around HARDLAND again showed their creativity with this new clip. Due to the Corona pandemic we weren’t able to gather a large group of people to film a video, so we decided to hand over the Director’s seat to Jasper Toeli Video and the leading role to Pumpkin Jack. Watch what happened to him on Halloween…

We hope this clip catches on like the previous ones and would like to ask you to share it with your family and friends.
