  • red kross 2025

    Two titans of power-pop and punk rock will reunite this March when LA cult legends Red Kross(pictured), celebrate 45 years of dayglo hooks, sly wit and sky-high choruses, with Aussie icons The Hard-Ons on an Australian tour. The nine-date run will span Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. Tickets are on sale now and sell-outs look likely.

    The bands might be separated by the Pacific Ocean but have ties that go back to when they were label mates on the US Big Time label in 1987. Beyond that the connections are plentiful; both started playing out on their respective punk scenes when they were teenagers.

    Both bands transgressed the accepted boundaries of punk, and pushed audience excitement buttons with high energy, great tunes, an outrageous visual element and a willingness to include '60s pop influences into their punk sounds. Click MORE for dates and ticket lins.
