In the early 1980s, Hard CORPS emerged from the raw energy of the post-punk scene with a unique vision. At a time when popular music was caught between the remnants of 60s cultural momentum and the rise of new wave, we chose to forge a path of our own—blending electronic innovation with introspective lyrics.

Regine, our enigmatic frontwoman, sought a creative outlet beyond her day job as an artist’s model and involvement in the darker side of Soho life. Inspired by the likes of Moroder and Kraftwerk, we embraced the emerging electronic landscape, making music that felt emotionally raw and true to our personal experiences.

Our sound was defined by our belief in creating something new, something that couldn’t be pigeonholed—combining synthesizers, sequencers, and experimental production techniques to shape our unique voice.

Our live performances, including opening for The Cure on their "Head on the Door" tour, were memorable moments where we started to build a loyal following despite facing skepticism from some parts of the music scene.

Over the years, we worked with legendary producers like Martin Rushent (The Human League) and Daniel Miller (Depeche Mode), which led to the creation of our signature sound—an electronic cabaret of sorts that echoed our past influences while pushing the boundaries of what was possible with synths.

Despite the challenges and setbacks, including industry pressures and evolving musical landscapes, we kept pushing forward. From guerrilla-style performances to Regine’s provocative onstage presence, Hard CORPS stayed true to its roots: defying expectations and embracing the unconventional. Our final live performance was a raw, honest expression of who we were—capturing the spirit of our journey.
