Hard 'n Phirm

Hard 'n Phirm was a Seattle band that formed in the late 1980s. The core members were vocalist and guitarist Eric Peterson, bassist Gary Driscoll, and drummer Jeremiah Green. They released their debut album 'American Dinosaurs' in 1993, which included the title track that became one of their most recognizable songs.

Their music had a raw, visceral quality that drew from punk and metal influences. Beyond 'American Dinosaurs,' their catalog included songs like 'Pi,' 'Fitter Clappier,' and 'Moose Lodge.' They put out six studio albums between 1993 and 2004, with titles like 'Champs,' 'The Kids Will See You Through,' and 'Death or Glory.'

The band was known for intense live performances that sometimes led to clashes with authorities. They faced accusations of drug use and unruly behavior, but kept making music through those controversies. Peterson, Driscoll, and Green remained the consistent core through most of their active years.
