“Dirty Tracks For Clubbing”, or when the title of a record saves you most of the work of explaining how a band sounds. That’s right, this Lisbon trio is a recent arrival, but the filth and the drive of their rock – just like that, no extra genres, no bullshit – are just timeless. They’re so noisy that we admit it didn’t take much to hear them clearly above the background din of the underground. Their songs are constantly charging ahead, the rhythm section seemingly competing amongst themselves to see who reaches the end of the tune first, with the guitar throwing up so much distortion that it sounds psychedelic just like that. We have the feeling that Hard Club will feel at the same time too big – because this is the kind of thing you want to see in a mouldy basement with glasses flying through the air – and too small – because there are monster riffs here the size of the Clérigos Tower.
