HARDCORETET Hardcoretet performs music inspired by the desire of its members to write compositions with enough depth to satisfy the musically obsessed and a groove everyone can nod their head to. With years of formal jazz study and performance combined with a set of diverse influences from Robert Glasper to Pierre de Bethmann to Hermeto Pascoal, the band has built a singular sound and focuses more on group vibe and concept than on individual flash and fireworks.
