Cheersquad Records and Tapes are exhilarated to announce the upcoming album from the Hard-Ons 'I Like You A Lot Getting Older'.
Out on October 4, 2024 and available for pre-order now.
'I Like You A Lot Getting Older' is available on limited edition (100 only) clear vinyl with orange smoke 12" vinyl, limited edition (100 only) clear vinyl with blue smoke 12" vinyl, black vinyl, limited edition cassette (100 only), CD and digitally.
The current incarnation of the Hard-Ons, Blackie, Ray, Murray and perpetual newbie Tim have covered a lot of bases on their two albums to date (2021's ARIA top 5 debuting 'I'm Sorry Sir, That Riff's Been Taken' and last year's the Top 30 debuting 'Ripper '23'), but the suggestion this time is the album is heavy on the pop. The sort of pop that can cause hearing problems that is - the Hard-Ons wouldn't have it any other way.
"I Like You A Lot Getting Older' clips you around the ears and showcases a band in their 40th year with no intention of slowing down.
Over the years, the Hard-Ons have won the vocal support of artists like Dave Grohl, AC/DC's Malcolm Young and Jello Biafra amongst countless others. They’ve influenced not only subsequent generations of punk bands but a wide-ranging groundswell of Australian alternative artists – from You Am I to Spiderbait to Silverchair to Regurgitator to Magic Dirt to Powderfinger to the Dirty Three to The Chats – each of whom have been inspired by the Hard-Ons’ energy, free spirit and uncompromising dedication.
Along with the new album, the Hard-Ons are celebrating their 40th anniversary with a European tour, Australian tour and feature length documentary film 'The Most Australian Band Ever'. Get to it!
