The Weirdest Fucking Band on the Planet - Hans Gruber and the Die Hards

The Weirdest Fucking Band on the Planet - Hans Gruber and the Die Hards

Author: Powered By Rock September 25, 2023 Duration: 1:19:28

Hello and welcome to the Powered By Rock podcast where I am going to be speaking with the weirdest fucking band in the world today Hans Gruber and The Die Hards!

For those who have yet to hear of this band, well, I am not sure I can accurately describe what you can expect from these guys, but imagine if you mixed At The Drive In with The Aquabats and then piped it through Jack Black’s energy core…

That’s what I would say is Hans Gruber & The Die Hards.

The band has released 4 full-length albums since 2017, and broke out in many ways even more last year with their latest release With a Vengeance (a nod to the Die Hard movie franchise’s 3rd installment) which came out in 2022 and was a banger of an album that perfectly encapsulated the band’s sound as well as their intent to make music their own way.
