Hard-Ons hit the silver screen to mark their 40th anniversary
Hard-Ons are celebrating 40 years of punk rocking in public with tours of both Australia and Europe, and the release of new music - and the release of that stalled full-length feature film, The Most Australian Band Ever”.
The single "Buzz Buzz Buzz"is out today on Cheersquad Records & Tapes and is the first taste of the current Hard-Ons line-up's yet-to-be announced third album. It's a Tim Rogers/Peter Black co-write and a promise of great things to come.
“The Most Australian Band Ever” is directed by Jonathan J. Sequeira for production companies Living Eyes and Play Vintage. Sequeira made the acclaimed 2017 Radio Birdman documentary, ”Descent Into The Maelstrom”.
The film will premiere on October 16 at SXSW in Sydney with a screening and Q&A at the Dendy Newtown. Here's a taste:
Perfectly timed with the band’s anniversary, “The Most Australian Band Ever” offers insight into the band's long existence, with plenty of live footage and interviews and guest appearances from Dave Faulkner (The Victims, Hoodoo Gurus), Ross Knight (Cosmic Psychos), Jerry A (Poison Idea), Steven Hanford aka Thee Slayer Hippy (Poison Idea) and Rob Younger (Radio Birdman).
The film has a particular focus on the Hard-Ons' early days, the obstacles - some self-inflicted - which they've had to overcome, and the legacy they've built.
