KADARKA

Kadarka (kah-dark-a), Red grape used as the principal flavor behind Hungary's "Bull's Blood of Eger" wine dating back to the 1700s.

Kadarka, a 4-piece hard rock band out of Hartford Connecticut, formed in 2006. As with many bands, it took time to find the right combination of players. Now, determined to stay true to their love for the art of music, Kadarka draws upon its member’s rich and varied backgrounds and is focused on writing and performing original music. With lyrics influenced by real-life experiences and music that embraces the riffs and beats from classic bands such as Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith to more current acts like Pearl Jam and Local H, Kadarka has a sound that can only be described as heavy, hard-edged, and haunting.

Striving to bring music back to the days when the song mattered more than the individual musicians, Kadarka is about group spirit and has a pub-wrecking here-we-are attitude that is anything but sugar-coated pop music.
