Hardpack

The story begins back in 2001 when two local punk rock hooligans (KK

vocals/guitar and Joseph guitar/backing vocals) formed what is now

known as Hardpack.



Originally, Hardpack burst on to the scene as a 3-piece outfit with

Joseph playing drums, KK on vocals/guitar and Nelson on bass. A year

later their good friend Nelson decided to bow out of the band and long

time punk rock enthusiast, Hang, was recruited to continue. Ming later

joined the band filling in the drums position moving Joseph to 2nd

guitar. A fter a year of playing punk rock Ming realized that metal

was his roots and decided to leave the band to fill the drummer

position for Kinglychee, Kevin (who at the time WAS the KLC drummer)

joined Hardpack in a spectacular drummer trade which resulted in

Hardpack getting the better end of the deal. Just kidding MING. Phat

from the mighty LMF also decided to join soon after Kevin to take over

vocal duties in order for KK to focus on his awesome down picking

guitar technique. Shortly after Ar Hang decided, after a few years of

playing in Hardpack that he really can't stand Kevin's bad jokes and

KK's constant wearing of silk boxer shorts in the band room ("You

can't see it but you know it's there, I feel like it's looking at

me"Hang) He decided to leave in seclusion in the mountains of Kwun

Tong for a change of atmosphere. Glenn from the best hardcore band in

the world STW, volunteered to join the Hardpack crew soon after in

order to help the band continue their very busy schedule. He was SO

good they begged him to stay.



Hardpack sound is punk rock on the positive side highly focused

around staying happy. Their live show is deeply rooted on creating an

atmosphere based on friendship not just with each other, but with

the entire audience. An ultimate goal of these 5 young passionate

punks is to build up Hong Kong's punk rock scene together with many of

Hong Kong's other punks to let people around this city and world over

revel in the spirit of punk rock.



Lyrics are churned out from within the hearts of the band and

inspired on stuff happening in their lives. Lyrics are also written to

mock certain situations or individuals who the band feels deservers

ridicule. But ultimately, lyrics are not restricted to any specific

topic or feelings who knows what the future holds.On the other hand Hardpack has had their music on the movie "The four heavenly kings" directed by daniel wu and song arrangments for josie ho.So yes lets see what the future holds for this local shitty band
