Hard-Ons release 14th Album, 'Ripper 23'

Hard-Ons release 14th Album, 'Ripper 23'

It is said that the Hard-Ons have crossed the Rubicon, having formed back in 1982 in Punchbowl, New South Wales. They are often acknowledged as Australia's most commercially successful independent band and have found international success since the release of their debut. Having a legendary and impressive back catalogue of releases, the Hard-Ons have also been a fantastically explosive live band. With no desire to be fixated on the past, the Hard-Ons have drafted long-time friend Tim Rogers, the driving force behind the chart-busting, platinum-selling and award winning power-pop act YOU AM I, as their lead vocalist.

Tim Rogers already had the Hard-Ons DNA in his person, since becoming a devotee of the band as a teenager back in the 80’s in Sydney. The Hard-Ons now has a brilliantly expressive and charismatic front-person to augment their rampaging, supercharged punk – metal – power-pop hybrid. 

The Hard-Ons are more infectious than ever. They have a vast array of great tunes from the history of their band to call upon. They move forward. They will play in your town.

Following up to their Australian #4 album, 'I’m Sorry Sir, That Riff’s Been Taken' from 2021, Hard-Ons are unleashing 'Ripper '23' with this insane line-up. Bursting at the seams with a series of blistering pop and punk nuggets as only this genre- busting band can produce, Ripper '23 will leave you craving for more.
