Hard Eight was founded in January of 2001 by Frank Marrero. His vision and creativity is the drive behind the band. The urge to bring back the 80’s rhythm and melodies to today’s music, with the touches of a Jazz drummer to the mix. The band influences include Iron Maiden, Rob Halford and Dream Theatre just to name a few. This formed the unique sound known as Hard Eight. The band has come together to create a very unique blend of Rock with a Jazz touch. All songs are original.

In the not-too-distant past, aspiring musicians who wished to distribute their music did not have many palatable options; they could either sell their music at concerts, or beg independent shop owners to stock their albums. Both options offered limited exposure, at best. With the age of the internet, independent musicians could now post their music on a website easily, but the problem of exposure remained.
