The kind of music they play critics most often call heavy rock. Band immediately started playing gigs all over Croatia and Slovenia, and earned themselves a record deal.

After few line up changes second album "Kad poludim.." (Croatia Records) was released in 1996. This time lyrics are on Croatian (alternatively they recorded in English) because of domestic market. Album had four singles, which topped national charts. What HARD TIME is doing best is playing live, so constant touring followed.
