Harsh is a musical society that meets on Wednesdays and produces high-octane original music combining modern hip-hop, funk and soul influences.

They are led by Thomas (Teeba) Forbes who is credited on releases from hip-hop icons including Nas, DMX and Dave East. They have played hundreds of shows together since the band's inception in 2013, and have shared the stage with legendary acts including George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Steel Pulse, The Motet, and Tank & The Bangas.

In early 2023, Harsh introduced vocalists Adrienne Mack-Davis and Sig Shalome to the lineup to realize a newfound lushness by combining four-part harmonies with contemporary flow. They are in the midst of recording new material with this lineup, but you can check out their classic body of work at www.harsharmadillo.com
