Hans Gruber & the Die Hards
Hans Gruber & the Die Hards
Hans Gruber and the Die Hards brand of punk/ska mashes genres together like a toddler eating chocolate cake – with messy intensity for maximum enjoyment. From Boston hardcore to Colombian cumbia, southern gospel to crossover thrash, their live shows are filled with pits, sock puppets, conga lines and confusion – if you are nihilistic enough to jump in feet first.Formed in Austin, TX as a four piece in 2014, the band shamelessly embraces change. Over the years they defiantly added a full time Saxophone player, as well as parted ways with two of their founding members. Their newest album, “With A Vengeance,” was released on Ska Punk International Records in May 2022. It represents the best of times with the former lineup, the struggles of a new era after their departure, and finding a new voice through these very same songs.Much like their ability to combine musical genres, their lyrics tread a fine line between metaphor, truth, sarcasm and lies, assuming their audiences have the know-how to join them on this magical journey.Possessed by unbridled joy for music, Hans Gruber and the Die Hards continue to push forward looking for the next venue to haunt as they chant: IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER!
