Hard Pack are one of Hong Kong's leading punk acts. The story begins back in 2001 when two local punk rock hooligans (KK – vocals/guitar and Joseph guitar/backing vocals) formed what is now known as Hardpack. Originally, Hardpack burst on to the scene as a 3-piece outfit with Joseph playing drums, KK on vocals/guitar and Nelson on bass. A year later their good friend Nelson decided to bow out of the band and long time punk rock enthusiast, Hang, was recruited to continue. Ming later joined the band filling in the drums position moving Joseph to 2nd guitar, after a year of playing punk rock Ming realized that metal was his roots and has left the band to fulfil the drummer position for Kinglychee, Kevin then joined Hardpack to energize the entire Hardpack sound and spectacle.

The Hardpack sound is punk rock on the positive side – highly focused around staying happy. Their live show is deeply rooted on creating an atmosphere based on friendship – not just with each other, but with the entire audience. An ultimate goal of these 4 young passionate punks is to build up Hong Kong's punk rock scene together with many of Hong Kong's other punks to let people around this city and world over revel in the spirit of punk rock.

Lyrics are churned out from within the hearts of the band and inspired on stuff happening in their lives. Lyrics are also written to mock certain situations or individuals who the band feels deservers ridicule. But ultimately, lyrics are not restricted to any specific topic or feelings – who knows what the future holds.
