H.A.R.D. were formed in Hungary, by highly acclaimed members of the local rock scene. There was an existing core of the band, and it became H.A.R.D. Just after the arrival of the young but well known singer, Zoltán BÁTKY-VALENTIN (Stonehenge, Wendigo, After Crying, Queen Tribute). The other members also have a strong and long hard rock background, they have been playing in bands with many awards and gold discs, such as Edda, Fix, Dance, Sing Sing and the most authentic European KISS tribute group, called KISS Forever Band.

In the same year, the group released their debut album in Hungary, called 'Traveler'. It is basically a compilation from the previous two albums of the core band, but with completely newly written lyrics, vocal harmonies and choruses by the new singer. H.A.R.D. Launched its MySpace site very soon, and after only a few days, they have received an invitation for collaboration from the legendary producer Beau Hill (Europe, Alice Cooper, Winger, Ratt, Warrant, stb.). The band has re-recorded a few songs that has been remixed by Beau Hill, so there is a three song promo pack now with an up-to-date sound that meets the international levels.

In the meantime, the original 'Traveler' album has been started to travel around the world, as more record labels, promoters and distributors started to sell it around the world, including one of their flagships, AOR Heaven. Now H.A.R.D. Is working on songs for the upcoming album, and rehearsing for kickass concerts.
