Hard Volume is the second studio album by American rock band Rollins Band, released in 1989.[8][9][10] It was reissued with previously unreleased tracks in 1999 through Buddah Records.[11]

The original CD release contained a 32-minute jam on the Velvet Underground outtake "Move Right In," titled "Joy Riding with Frank." The track was recorded live in Linz, Austria, during the band's 1988 tour. The 1999 remastered edition replaced this track with six studio tracks: three from the album session at Echo Sound in Los Angeles in December 1988, and three from a demo session recorded in July 1988 at Graphic Studios in New Jersey.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that Rollins "sinks into an existential funk on the seven-song Hard Volume ... Oddly, the rest of the band seems unaffected by his moods, and the music — a well-organized rock juggernaut — thunders along happily."[12] Dave Thompson, in Alternative Rock, called the album "a funked-up swagger that is moody and electrically eclectic."[13]
