Hard Stuff was an English hard rock group. Often regarded as one of Deep Purple's proteges, this heavy, but melodic early 70s power trio had a credible reputation of a hard-nosed, no-compromise, heavy-rocking act in the Purple vein, throughout their short-lived career. Paul Hammond had previously played with Atomic Rooster, as did John Du Cann; John Gustafson came from Quatermass. Their both full-length albums were initially released on Purple Records, the Deep Purple-related record label.

Hard Stuff's Bulletproof is considerably heavier with thick mounds of aggressive guitar chords and lightning fast leads. The music itself is very rooted in the 70s. "Hard Stuff" is to Blairwitch Project as Led Zeppelin is to Nightmare on Elm Street, with the latter being more raw, gritty, and not filtered through big production values and commercialism. Songs on the album like the hard hitting blues fest 'Sinister Minister' or the heavy metal self-document 'Time Gambler', convey a sense of soul, strength and edginess.

01. Jay Time

This album isn't a bad sophmore effort from a trio of nitty gritty longhairs from England. There are some hard edged power chording going on but there's also some ventures into funk and weirdness. 'Mermany' is strange acoustic rock that kind of grows on you after a while. 'Libel' has a groovy bass line layered with r&bish vocals, and 'Bolex Dementia' is a fuzzy conglameration of shortwave radio noises, scratchy noise samples, and a psychotic sounding guitar riff. The album's reigning acheivement has to be 'Spider's Web'. As far as I can tell, the song is about procrastination which is something everybody has had a problem with at one time or another. 'Just keep it out of sight, I don't wanna see you tonight! Just make everything right! I don't wanna see you tonight!". The singer takes on a 'out of sight, out of mind' attitude but knowing darn well, it will bite him in the rear in the very end. Great guitar riff, great bass playing, a bit funky but not in a bad way like Deep Purple's 'Stormbringer'. This is 70s funk-metal done right. 'Roll A Rocket' would be the album's 'Speed King'. It would make for a perfect soundtrack of to a muscle car chase from an old 70s B movie. Heavy, but not as evil as one might think, 'Bolex Dementia' is a solid effort that is a bit more experimental than the previous album. There are a few songs that don't hit the mark like 'Dazzle Dizzy' and 'Get Lost', songs that kind of go nowhere fast, but overall, a fun listen.
Tracklist:
01. Roll A Rocket
02. Libel
03. Ragman
04. Spider's Web
05. Get Lost
06. Sick N' Tired
07. Mermany
08. Jumpin' Thumpin (Ain't That Somethin')
09. Dazzle Dizzy
10. Bolex Dementia
