“Hard wag” has many meanings, but it always means “most excellent” and “pure joy” at the same time. The term was born from a legacy community of musical savants in Chicago who recorded at Reelsounds Studio. Mark Brunner, who founded Reelsounds Studio, left many legacies in the music industry and Chicago music community, including the much loved term “Hard Wag”. Jo Pangilinan, Mark’s wife, along with their sons, Brandon and Derek, continue his legacy of musical purity at Hard Wag Records,  where inspiration creates authentic human expression. Hard Wag Records proudly presents exceptional sonic artists who convey the power and passion of human experience.
