Harder & Harder

No doubt about it, life is hard. Fortunately, some things are better when they€re hard. For Detroit rock €˜n€ roll outfit, The Paybacks, it€s best when its "Harder and Harder." It€s with that philosophy that Detroit€s defenders of the rock return with "Harder and Harder," their second album for Get Hip Records. Brimming with the pummeling riff rock, buoyant, revealing pop and three chord punk pounders that defined the band on its much-heralded Get Hip debut, "Knock Loud," "Harder and Harder" is testament that cutting your own path through the mediocrity of fad, fashion, creeping hipsterism and music industry brainwashing is its own reward.
