Hilltop Hoods are renowned for their incomparable live sets and the quality of their show has always been of the utmost importance to Hilltop Hoods. It was when considering how to improve and expand on their performance that they conceived the idea of incorporating an orchestra into their set. This evolved to the concept of recording 'The Hard Road: Restrung' and after having worked with the ASO String Quartet at the 2006 ARIA Awards as well as The Falls and Southbound Festivals, they were the natural choice for Hilltop Hoods. The combination of these 2 forces has resulted in 'The Hard Road: Restrung' boldly taking the original tracks on this album both musically and creatively to another level. To accommodate this innovative approach, certain tracks have been adapted and re-worked to create this dynamic 14 track album. Expect to hear new verses from Hilltop Hoods, a brand new bonus track called 'Roll On Up,' as well as a new guest feature from US freestyle champ, Okwerdz, working with the Hoods to reinvent 'Conversations From A Speakeasy.'. |
