Albums:

The Hardkiss. Stones and Honey. (re-edition). /digi-pack/.


..it is clear this was a considerable piece of work – but it is the "work" that you actually don't hear. One can hear – clear energy, passion, and the ability to present simple lines in a truly delicious way. However, not all the arrangements are that straightforward and, given the "lightness" of the genre, this approach especially pleases.

The Hardkiss. Perfection Is a Lie. /premium, eco-pack/.


..Even in the ballads – this inner power cannot be hidden, it can be perceived almost physically. Perfection is a lie, of course – but nobody forbids strive and work for it. The Hardkiss is obviously one of those who aspire and work hard.

The Hardkiss. Zalizna lastivka. /digi-pack/. (The Iron Swallow)


After release of the song "Zhuravli", it became clear: some inner turn should be expected from The Hardkiss. Because it was something quite unexpected. Tender and transparent – but also deep, penetrating, and conscious of its own power. And the premonition tuned out right, the album "The Iron Swallow" is really a step forward in several directions at once..

The Hardkiss. Akustyka. /premium, eco-pack/. (Acoustic)


The ACOUSTIC program did not still become a full-fledged unplugged. The concert was also complemented by a group of strings, winds, percussion – in short, the sound turns out somewhat unexpected and very rich, the arrangements could not remain unchanged either. The habitual drive has not disappeared, though, it has shifted to a slightly different plane.
