THE HARD ONS レコード& CD

Review: Coinciding with their upcoming 40th anniversary tour and the imminent premiere of a documentary on their history titled 'The Most Australia Band Ever', I Like You A Lot Getting Older shall serve as the latest full-length from the most recent iteration of legendary Aussie hardcore/snot-nosed/power-pop punk mob Hard Ons. The third LP from the group since enlisting Tim Rogers (You Am I) on lead vocals, the record follows on from 2021's I'm Sorry Sir, That Riff's Been Taken, and 2023's Ripper '23; further expanding this newly revitalised era since the messy departure of original drummer/vocalist Keish de Silva in 2021. Proudly described by guitarist Peter 'Blackie' Black as - "Our best collaboration so far", the increase of melodious psychedelia offered by Rogers, yet still retained within the band's now signature sugar-punk gems, offer up sonic hard ons across the entire runtime.
