Since forming almost 40 years ago, the irreverent punk outfit has separated, reformed and seen members come and go.

Their forthcoming album with their newest member will mark the band’s 13th studio album, as well as standing as the start of a new chapter for Hard-Ons.

“I was already the luckiest goof in rock’n’roll and I get asked to make a racket with my heros? Strewth. Wake me up sometime will ya?,” said Rogers.

His new bandmates share his enthusiasm.

“I’m thrilled to have Tim on board, and am loving his contribution,” said bassist and vocalist Ray Ahn.

“How fucking good is this,” added guitarist and vocalist, Peter Black.

The new Hard-Ons lineup will reveal their first single ‘Hold Tight’ on Friday August 13.
