Formed in 1999, Berkshire based Case Hardin are the outlet for song- writer Pete Gow, and despite something of a revolving door of contributors over recent years, has once again settled to a firm and focused line up; musicians drilled in live performance, clearly comfortable in each others skins on stage and on record.

Newcomers Jim Maving and Tim Emery, as well as the return of original Case Hardin drummer, and founding member, Andy Bastow, join Adam Kotz, recruited shortly after the recording of ‘Some Tunes For Charlie Spencer’ - a near perfect blend of the fresh and the familiar.

Expectation for the songs that would follow ‘Some Tunes For Charlie Spencer’ was set pretty high…

Written and recorded in the summer of 2010, ‘Every Dirty Mirror’, like its predecessor, is conceived and sequenced as two old school sides of vinyl, the first full band and full tilt, the second hinting, in parts, at a more contemplative side.

Impactive and organic. Immediate, yet complex enough to deliver rewards to repeated listens – with these superlatives, you could be describing ‘Every Dirty Mirror’ or watching Case Hardin perform live, in equal measure.
