Hard-Ons – I Like You A Lot Getting Older (Red Smoke Vinyl)

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.
