In the spirit of stepping well and truly out of my comfort zone, I've taken on the musical challenge to tackle the layered scat singing and the creative flow of Hopsin, one of my favourite rappers, in his song 'The B Bop' 🤓🤘

Who played the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series when they were younger? And how amazing were the soundtracks!? 😍🤘🎶 The tunes in those games pretty much defined my musical taste so it was only a matter of time before I covered a song from one of them. Who knows, maybe in the future I'll do some more Tony Hawk's tunes...? 😏👀

I've applied the usual dose of Kyle and a sprinkle of ska to 'You' by the legendary Bad Religion, enjoy 🤓🤘

Marmalade (System Of A Down Cover) (Feat. Peter Renton and Calum Anderson)

Have you ever had someone tell you that you'll never achieve your goals when aiming high? When they share their hate and negativity, constantly trying to put you down and tell you that you can't do something, smile back at them and with a quiet confidence and a grin of defiance, say, 'watch me...'

'Grin Of Defiance' is an upbeat and energetic song about brushing off the inevitable negativity from others when you go against the grain and pursue an ambitious path that you know is going to be very difficult but you know deep in your heart is meant for you.

No Rest

Grin Of Defiance

"Write It Down" is an energetic and upbeat song about writing songs purely for the passion whether anyone bothers to listen or not. Don't let anyone tell you which way you 'need' to live your life. Stay true to yourself!

Write It Down

'As One' is a bouncy, feel good song about the power of music. We can listen to and collect the most amazing musical noises ever made by human beings, let it completely take us over and transport us to another world or it can be a medium for an artist to express themselves, but nowhere is it more euphoric than when you're in the middle of a crowd escaping reality and singing together as one.

As One

For a laugh I've decided to cover the absolute classic TV theme for the legendary kids show Arthur. There's not many people that don't instantly recognize that insanely catchy chorus originally by Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, but I've made it my own with the usual dose of Kyle.

Inspired by the legendary performance that Terry Crews did of this song in the movie White Chicks, for a laugh Pete and I thought we'd put our spin on Vanessa Carlton's 90s hit 'A Thousand Miles'. As always, we had fun and it got a bit silly. I even unintentionally went 'full Johnny Rotten' at one point!!

Vocals/backing vocals: Kyle Hardie

A Thousand Miles (Vanessa Carlton Rock Cover)(Feat. Peter Renton)

Living On 'Likes' is a bouncy and catchy song that goes from a chilled out, floaty sound to an energetic and hectic climax. Lyrically, it explores the negative affects that social media can have on our mental health when people share handpicked content online that creates a false reality and sets impossible standards.

The busy conclusion is supposed to reflect the way we are constantly pummelled by adverts, promotional material and information in the digital age.

Living On 'Likes'

Boo! To celebrate Halloween 2020 I've taken on the iconic 'Thriller' giving it the usual dose of Kyle and musical silliness! There's a sprinkle of Peter Renton in there with an amazing guitar solo.

Thriller (Michael Jackson rock cover)

Acceptance is a fast and very energetic original song that goes from an aggressive pulsating rhythm into a catchy chorus propelled forward with a busy and bouncy bass line. It's has a lot of energy for sure! 🤘🔥

Lyrically, it explores the process of growing up comparing the role of a parent to an artist. Your parents set you up for life by 'sketching the outlines and setting up the foundations of the painting' but it's up to you as an individual to finish off the painting by adding in colour and making it your own, and so becoming your own person... 🤓
