Hard-Ons
The Hard-Ones are punk rock legends. They formed in 1982 and were a band that were ahead of their time. It is hard to believe that bands like Fugazi didn't come into the picture until 1986. They played a variety of styles and are best known for their hardcore punk style. This was a band that played hard, fast and loud.
The band produced five albums before they went their seperate ways. 'Smell My Finger' is the band's first album that didn't come out until 1986 but the wait was worth it. This album is considered by many to be hardcore gold dust. 'And Then I Kissed Her' is a banger of a song on the album.
All their albums were released on Waterfront Records in Australia with Alternative Tentacles making some of their music available in North America but their biggest following was in Europe.
'Yummy!' was the band's fourth album and it is a classic. 'Where Did She Come From' is the first song on the album and it immediately grabs your attention and won't let go.
The Hard-Ons are hardcore punk legends who deserve to have their music rediscovered.
