Bard Makes Noise is an ongoing web-based project inspired by the creativity of Bard bands and musicians past and present. Here you'll find groups and people that have fired the hearts and imaginations of Bardians over the last six decades. Their music reflects riotously diverse roots from rock to punk, rap to metal, folk to funk, and new wave and post-punk to techno. Students, alums and musicians from the surrounding community have all contributed to Bard's dynamic music scene. This site includes audio, video, photos, PDFs of student publications and more. A goal of our project is to offer access to music performed and written by Bard bands and, with few exceptions, we have tried to include only original music.

Your band or your favorte Bard band not featured? Contact us with audio, a description and a visual or two and we'll include them. We're adding material on a regular basis, giving equal space to the Bard bands we've all heard of and those previously known only to their peers. Thanks to all who have contributed already - keep it coming.
