Over the years, The Hard-Ons have won the vocal support of artists like Dave Grohl, AC/DC’s Malcolm Young and Jello Biafra amongst countless others. They’ve influenced not only subsequent generations of punk bands but a wide-ranging groundswell of Australian alternative artists – from You Am I to Spiderbait to Silverchair to Regurgitator to Magic Dirt to the Dirty Three to The Chats – each of whom have been inspired by The Hard-Ons’ energy, free spirit and uncompromising dedication.
This announcement comes at a busy time for The Hard-Ons.
The new documentary about the band, Harder & Harder, is in cinemas now, and The Most Australian Band Ever!, which Harder & Harder is a sequel to, is soon to be released on Blu-ray and in a range of Blu-ray box sets (one of which includes a vinyl pressing of the film soundtrack which has actual Hard-Ons blood mixed into the vinyl!)
