About Me

This power trio has been together almost 3 years impressing audiences with their comlex tales of betrayal, addictions, broken hearts, street gangs, riding with a young love on the back of a bike, and remembering where one came from. Lead singer, Rocky O'Reilly has a one of a kind croon, lots of attitude, and an ability to rip up his guitar with the best. The line-up is rounded out with Slim Skinner on drums, and Late Night Mike on Slap bass. Slim provides a sleazy and solid beat for the band while also being a crooner himself, providing plenty of back-up harmonies. Late Night Mike brings an old fashion, yet tough look to slapping the bass. Their sound is an intriguing blend of Classic punk rock, Rockabilly, and American Rock'n Roll. Some of the bands influences include: Johnny Cash, The Ramones, Elvis Presley, Iggy Pop, Johnny Horton, New York Dolls, Stray Cats, etc.The HARDTAILS have headlined festivals throughout their home province of Alberta, Regina, Vancouver, Montreal's Red Hot and Blue, and Toronto's Rockabilly Weekender. They have been described by many as Canada's Best Rockabilly Band. Thier self titled 6 sond CD has been played on numerous radio stations throughout the country aswell as many jukeboxes. Motorbilly Radio/Go Cat Go (America's most popular Rockabilly station--based out of Detroit, Michigan) has had the disc on rotation since the beginning of 2008. The bands second CD 'Ready For A Fight' is due for release on June 1.THIS IS ONE ROCKN' ROLL CELEBRATION NOT TO BE MISSED!
