About Hardspeak

Hardspeak houses artists that create genre-defying sounds, which includes bigger names like Ike Ndolo, Phoenix, Arizona’s Wild Earth and Nashville’s Ryne Norman, Gallos, Stolen Goods, and Northern Diver. All of the artists have an equal investment in the label.

For me Hardspeak is a brand and a label, but most importantly it is a group of people founded by one person who just believes in hard work,” says Dan Alber of Gallos.

Modeling much of what they do after the music industry in the UK during the late 1970s, Hardspeak wants to change the industry with their “do-it-yourself” attitude. More than just a label, they run a playlist, podcast, and booking department with intentions to adapt a branch in every tier of the industry. Their desire is to provide quality art for their artists and champion those who influence their communities.
