EP REVIEW: Lucas Hardy – Blood, Sweat & Tears
Formerly of The City Calls (rest in peace), singer Lucas Hardy is now riding solo! Since his band’s split last year, the southern lad’s kept his head down, resurfacing on the gig circuit recently armed only with his trusty acoustic guitar. Now, Mr Hardy has four fantastic solo tracks to his name in the form of his debut EP – Blood, Sweat & Tears.
