Hard Lessons (DEN)

Hard Lessons are one of the most uncompromising names in the new wave of Danish hardcore. With crushing riffs, raw intensity, and a message rooted in unity and energy, the band has built a reputation as a force to be reckoned with both on and off the stage.

Their full-length release This Ain’t No Game dropped in spring 2025, followed by a new record in 2026 that promises to raise the bar even higher. Despite their short history, Hard Lessons have already stormed stages at festivals like Copenhell and played direct support for legendary acts including Agnostic Front (US), Ignite (US), and Pro-Pain (US).

Known for chaotic, high-energy shows where stagedives, 2-step and moshpits merge into one big celebration, Hard Lessons embody the positive aggression and unfiltered honesty that defines hardcore at its very best.
