The new Hard-Ons album is now out in the world.

The influential Sydney punks are gearing up for their 40th anniversary tour in style with their new album, I Like You a Lot Getting Older.

The album is their third with the current lineup, following 2021’s ARIA top 5 debuting I’m Sorry Sir, That Riff’s Been Taken and last year’s Ripper ’23. The album is available on black vinyl, CD, and digital formats, plus several limited-edition coloured vinyl versions.

The band will also premiere their feature-length documentary, The Most Australian Band Ever, this month at SXSW Sydney. You can check out the confirmed additional screenings of the film below.
