Hard-Ons have ramped up preparation for their big 40th anniversary tour with the premiere of a new music video.
At the end of July, the influential Sydney punk outfit announced a special 40th anniversary tour, which will take them to Brisbane, Melbourne, Frankston, Geelong, Perth, and many more towns and cities this October and November (see full dates below).
Tickets are on sale now here.
Arriving alongside their tour announcement was a new Hard-Ons single, “Buzz Buzz Buzz”, which Peter Black hailed as his “best collaboration so far” with co-writer Tim Rogers.
“When Tim said, ‘I wanna get a little left of centre with the melody on this,’ I was BLOWN away (but not surprised),” Black added.
And a music video for “Buzz Buzz Buzz” has now been released, which you can watch now below.
The clip is directed by Jonathan J. Sequeira, who also helms the forthcoming Hard-Ons documentary, titled The Most Australian Band Ever. The film will premiere at this year’s SXSW Sydney.
Directed by J. Sequeira for production companies Living Eyes and Play Vintage, the doc offers in-depth insight into the band’s long career, with plenty of live footage and interviews included. It also features lots of guest appearances by the likes of the Hoodoo Gurus’ Dave Faulkner.
Hard-Ons’ “Buzz Buzz Buzz” is out now via Cheersquad Records & Tapes.
