Our Take

The Hard-Ons have been grinding out punk rock gems since before some of you were even born, and with their latest offering, "Ripper 23," they show no signs of slowing down. This album is like a punch in the face from an old friend – it hurts, but damn if it doesn't feel good.

From the opening track "Let There Be Rock," it's clear that these Aussie legends have lost none of their bite. The guitar riffs are as sharp as ever, the drumming is relentless, and the vocals are as gritty and powerful as ever. It's a relentless assault on the senses that leaves you exhilarated and exhausted in equal measure.

But what really sets "Ripper 23" apart is the band's willingness to experiment. Tracks like "Pink Socks" and "Brain Suck" take the Hard-Ons' signature sound and twist it into something new and unexpected. It's a risky move, but one that pays off in spades, showing that even after all these years, the Hard-Ons still have a few tricks up their sleeves.

In a world where so many bands are content to rest on their laurels, the Hard-Ons are a breath of fresh air. "Ripper 23" is a reminder that punk rock is not just a genre, but a way of life – loud, proud, and unapologetically raw. So crank up the volume, throw up your horns, and get ready to rock out with one of the greatest bands in the game.

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.
