ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by HARDY.
Growing up in the small town of Philadelphia, Mississippi, HARDY was introduced to heavy music in high school. Soon, he fell in love with nü metal and metalcore, including System of a Down, Linkin Park, and August Burns Red.
It’s all culminated in an overlap of country and hardcore within his own music, where HARDY has scratched out a unique space.
His 2023 album, the mockingbird & THE CROW, was split into two halves — country and hard rock — the latter featuring a collaboration with A Day to Remember’s Jeremy McKinnon. Since then, it’s hit No. 1 on the Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Hard Rock Albums charts and rose to No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
