ROCKNATION ISSUE 22 HARDREAMS Interview by Tom Mathers Hello Hardreams and welcome to Rocknation. Congrats to your band on having released their fourth CD ‘Count Down Time” on Perris Records. How excited are you to see the fan response to the new CD? Many Thanks!, Well, this time we are very excited because this album is very different from the previous ones; We’ve recorded in a new studio, with a new producer and a new keyboardist too; and the result is, without a doubt, our best album to date; This is the best collection of songs that we’ve recorded, with more worked and mature compositions, great melodic rock sound and our best melodies ever. We can’t wait for our fans to hear it! Most bands today don’t make it to their second CD you guys just had a big milestone a 15 year anniversary how does that feel? We are very proud, It’s currently very difficult for a band to fulfill fifteen years and recording four albums and more if it is a hobby that you have to combine with other jobs, but the secret is loving the music and having fun. You have a new keyboardist, Miquel Garcia what has he brought to the band that is different? Miquel comes from the classical music so, in addition to the typical sounds of keyboards of the melodic rock, we have achieved a subtle touch of piano that gives a special color to the whole album. What was different this time in the studio compared to previous Hardreams releases? Our new producer has been very involved with our new work; he has enjoyed so much like us during the recordings as well that the whole process has been very pleasant. We all are much satisfied by the result! It looks like you have been busy with shows, please tell us about them. Yes, since the release of our third album “Unbroken Promises” in 2013 we’ve been playing live in a lot of Spanish cities, getting a great response from the public and sharing stage with artist such as Europe, Fm, MSG among others; Undoubtedly the last two years have been great for the band, we have lived great experiences!
