Here243 Largely acoustic, mostly improvised, and always fresh and intriguing, Here243 fuses lyrical, pulsating, and dissonant elements to create abstract soundtracks.

J'aime le reggae, la musique des Caraïbes, tous les genres de jazz, le blues avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Frank Zappa, la musique du monde, la musique classique et la musique contemporaine.

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything"...Plato
"without music,life would be a mistake" F.Nietzsche
"'Master your instrument.Master the music.And then forget all that bullshit and just play."Charlie Parker
"I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music "-Albert Einstein   

"Scandi-rock perfection". Dots And Dashes

"It's indie rock goodness, draped in beautiful guitars that shimmers and falls around your ears like rain". Sirens of Decay

"Driving energy, effortlessly layered guitars and just the right amount of experimental sound choices mean that that the music they’re making is just incredibly satisfying to listen to. Indie rock as a genre is overflowing with average bands. So why waste your time? Listen to Great Hare instead." Dani Charlton, Amazing Radio

"Great Hare brings a soft voice, a powerful guitar, so hint of old fashioned taste and they managed to mix it all together and create a song that is both powerful and relaxing"
Wolf In A Suit

"...an outstanding monolith of melodramatic dream-pop".
Dots And Dashes

"It's damn near impossible not to like "Rock n Roll Dreams".
Don't Need No Melody

“Only the Birds,” is a soft, and sweet melody, perfect for snuggling with your lover on a rainy day".
Girl Underground Music

"I’ve heard a couple of songs from this band, and although they’re unsigned at the moment, I don’t expect that to be the case for very long." This Is That Song

"The audience is taken on a floating ride of shimmery summer haze as the guitars weave their way across the room..."
Emerging Indie Bands

Swedish indie rock band Great Hare formed around 2010 when four friends got together after a long hiatus from music. Naming the band after nocturnal chance encounters with wild hares, they turned a loft into a recording studio and brought drums, guitars, tape delay machines, keyboards, pink chorus pedals, an old piano and influences from the post-punk era they grew up in. They turn up at nights looking for melodies that want to be turned into songs. The good ones arrive like waves hitting a beach or echoes of something submerged under the surface.
