HERE IS ANOTHER MAGAZINE IN THE UK INTERESTED IN EXPOSING OUR MUSIC!

Hi Guys,

Nicky here from Fireworks Magazine in the UK.

I am interested in writing about your music for my feature "The Music Is Out There", I enjoyed the samples I heard here on myspace. I'm musically very open minded and even though we are a hard rock magazine I like to feature diverse music, which is what I'm into.

We sell over 3000 copies & the magazine can be bought at Virgin Megastores & Borders Bookshops here in the UK & various outlets throughout Europe as well as downloadable PDF versions.

For all of your Rock lovers, the band Hard Eight got a song purchase of "Elizabeth" this week from the ITunes-Uk. That's great, since the song was inspired after watching the movie "Elizabeth" after Queen Elizabeth. The "lyrics" can be found at, www.reverbnation.com/hardeight

You're welcome!

I addition to the expansive Live audience, our once-a-month "re-broadcasts" are just under 40,000, so the exposure is incredible. The next re-broadcast should have your track in it.

We lost track of how many listeners we have!

You guys definately rock and are a VERY welcome addition to our family of bands!

Hard 8 is one of the most requested bands and "Runaway" the most requested song in our current rotation.

Our listener "chat" and emails say how they love your lead singer...the consensus is she has a "Pat Benatar" sound to her.

Exceptional listener response!

Today recent news!

Hi Frank:

We got "Runaway" off Radio Submit a while ago, and "Insane" from there after last weeks overwhelming response. We just played Runaway last week.

Frank, BA RADIO, http://www.myspace.com/broadcastasylum is one of the most powerful net radio shows out...our listening audience is not only international, but also huge. The show is supported by a couple of "old school" rock fans who just want to help the indie music community...the have built quite a following.

Your artwork is posted on both of our sites and we will give Hard 8 air time on tomorrow's live show.

Looking forward to promoting your band.

Discography
Frank Marrero - credits:
"Hard Eight", CD, "Hard Eight", Hard 8 Records
"Push Comes To Shove", CD, "Deal with It" Impulse Records


Hard Eight was founded in January of 2001 by Frank Marrero. His vision and creativity is the drive behind the band. The urge to bring back the 80's rhythm and melodies to today's music, with the touches of a Jazz drummer to the mix. The band influences include Iron Maiden, Rob Halford and Dream Theatre just to name a few. This formed the unique sound known as Hard Eight. The band has come together to create a very unique blend of Rock with a Jazz touch. All songs are original.
