Hardworker
Hardworker is a five-piece rock band from Durham, North Carolina. The band took its present shape in 2015 when Sus Long and Mike Conner traded in their acoustic folk duo for something a bit louder with guitarist Danny Nowell and vocalist Alex Treyz. Hardworker's songs start with a lone guitar in a quiet room and build to a melodic fury, landing somewhere between Patty Griffin and the Pixies. The band draws on a wide range of influences, creating a sound that showcases Mike’s dense grooves, Danny’s love of overdrive, and Alex’s harmonic daredevilry. Their 2017 release Go Alone was produced by Alex Bingham and engineered by Mitch Easter at the Fidelitorium in Kernersville, NC. At its most intimate moments, the album achieves the immediacy of Sus and Mike’s back-porch partnership, but at its biggest moments the record is nothing less than four friends making the biggest ruckus they know how.
