Our Take
Our Take
Ah, the Hard-Ons. What can we say about this legendary Australian punk rock band that hasn't already been said? Well, let's start with their latest album, Ripper 23.
From the moment you press play, you are hit with a wall of sound that will have you headbanging in no time. The opening track, "Ripper," is an energetic burst of punk rock goodness that sets the tone for the rest of the album.
The Hard-Ons have always been known for their catchy hooks and infectious melodies, and Ripper 23 is no exception. Tracks like "Gnarly" and "Shredder" will have you singing along in no time, while "Mosh Pit Madness" will have you thrashing around like a maniac.
But it's not all high-energy punk rock on this album. The Hard-Ons show their softer side on tracks like "Tender" and "Heartfelt," proving that they are more than just a one-trick pony.
Overall, Ripper 23 is another solid offering from the Hard-Ons. It's fun, it's catchy, and it's everything you could want from a punk rock album. So grab a beer, crank up the volume, and enjoy the ride. Keep on rocking, Hard-Ons.

About the artist
Hard-Ons
Sydney-based punk legends HARD-ONS defy all expectations with their explosive blend of melodic pop-punk and thrashy hardcore. Formed in 1982, the band has endured lineup changes, label drama, and even a lawsuit from the iconic toy company Hasbro. But through it all, HARD-ONS have remained a musical force to be reckoned with. Their early albums, like "Dickcheese" and "Love Is a Battlefield of Wounded Hearts," showcased their knack for infectious hooks and frenetic energy. Tracks like "Don't Fear the Reeperbahn" and "All Set to Go" are punk anthems that will have you pogoing in no time. But don't let their cheeky song titles fool you; HARD-ONS know how to bring the noise. The blistering guitar work of Peter "Blackie" Black and the thunderous rhythm section of Ray Ahn and Murray Ruse create a sonic assault that is both thrilling and unforgettable. Their latest release, "So I Could Have Them Destroyed," sees HARD-ONS continuing to push boundaries and defy expectations. Tracks like "Bad Bad Temper to Match" and "Better By the Hour" showcase the band's maturity and growth, while still staying true to their punk roots. With their raucous live shows and infectious energy, HARD-ONS remain a force to be reckoned with in the punk scene. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, one thing is certain: HARD-ONS are a band that demands to be heard.
