It is said that the **Hard-Ons** have crossed the Rubicon. Having formed back in 1982 and having a legendary and impressive back catalogue of releases, the Hard-Ons have also been a fantastically explosive live band.  
  
The Hard-Ons are ever-changing and evolving, having three albums under the belt with long-time friend Tim Rogers, the driving force behind the chart-busting, platinum-selling and award winning power-pop act YOU AM I, to a new edition featuring hardcore punk royalty, Jerry A of Poison Idea fame at the helm, or of course the classic, explosive three-piece, supercharged punk – metal – power-pop hybrid.  
  
Whichever form they take, 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 recent 2024 album _I Like You A Lot Getting Older,_ and 40th anniversary tours of Australia, Japan and Europe, the Hard-Ons show no ends to their activity and creativity of blistering pop and punk nuggets as only this genre- busting band can produce.  
  
The Hard-Ons: go and catch them live. Buy their album _I Like You A Lot Getting Older_. This is a heritage band that is actually about to hit their peak. And beyond.
