Hard Softee is a rock quartet based in Tacoma, WA. The Softees bring a collective century of musical experience to listeners of all backgrounds; providing them something new and different to enjoy. Hard Softee explores a unique spectrum of math rock that embraces smoother elements of jazz and pop and juxtaposes it with aggressive hardcore and metal. Through a fully-concerted and more-than-just-musical effort, Hard Softee tastefully dances between themes of darkness and whimsy.

Our fearful leader, Yousef.
