BEATS WORKING are a 4 piece guitar orientated rock band from the UK, led by guitarist/songwriter John Hardman. John’s career stretches back a long way. Starting out in the mid seventies with rock/pop band Sunfighter on EMI, being the main songwriter and guitarist for that band, his career has also led him to write and produce work for many other bands/projects and work with a number of major producers such as Roy Thomas Baker, Gus Dudgeon and Chris Rainbow. In 1986 John formed Beats Working as a vehicle for the many songs he has written. Beats Working have so far made 6 albums and their last album “Calm” has been receiving great reviews from music press all over the world. Their music has been likened in influence to various other well known rock and progressive rock bands, but is definitely their own special Beats Working sound - a special blend of song based rock that is gradually achieving critical acclaim everywhere.

Classic Rock Magazine review of the album 'Calm'
"It’s not often Britain produces a truly classy, mainstream rock band. But Beats Working definitely fall into this category. A combination of Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and Bad Company with added touches of Barclay James Harvest this foursome make it all sound so relaxed and easy, as they groove their way through 12 stylishly melodic songs that ooze maturity, yet avoid sounding contrived. One of the most impressive British rock albums in ages, ’Calm’ is classic rock in all senses of the term." MALCOLM DOME, Classic Rock Magazine
