The Hardcore Wednesdays formed around the tail end of 2008.

We had originally set out with little experience playing our instruments. Only jamming away with 4 acoustics. Our lyricist Hardcore Kenny would pen the lyrics.

We have since formed into a proper band with one of the guitarists picking up the drums and the other picking up the bass.

We came up with our name by combining the name of our lyricist “Hardcore Kenny” and the day we practice on “Wednesdays”, and that’s how we got “Hardcore Wednesdays”.

We have only been properly gigging since August 09 and have played in such venues as King Tut’s and The Doghouse. So far we have supported bands like: The Vortex, Luva Anna, Ray Summers, The Troubadours, Chris Helme and Tom Gray from Gomez.
Bonehead even danced to our choons!

Combining elements of Roots-rock, blues, Jazz and homespun Scottish Folk, Emma Morton & the Graces transcend these to become an emotionally engaging act that is truly unique. Based in Italy, Emma herself originates from Scotland, and combines her roots with broad influences from her Italian band, blending vocals with a guitar (Luca Giovacchini) and drum (Piero Perelli) combo. 

Their 2018 European Tour of over 120 sold-out shows saw great success, wide press coverage, radio play and TV performances. (UK, France, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovenia).  

Their debut album Bitten by the Devil has over 250k Spotify downloads. It was recorded live in an analog studio. Guests and collaborators include Grammy Award winner Gene Paul (USA), known for his work with Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin, Rolling Stones and many more, Antonio Gramentieri who’s collaborations include Alejandro Escovedo, Dan Stuart, Hugo Race, Raphael Gualazzi (piano) and Gabriele Evangelista (Doublebass).

Bitten by the Devil  is a courageous rebellion against inequality and a call to all people to unite with compassion for a fairer world.
