The Hard-Ons came out of the multicultural South-West Sydney suburb Punchbowl and scored a never-bettered 17 consecutive number one hits on the Australian independent charts.
The band undertook their 19th European tour in 2018, including a set at Hellfest alongside Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Joan Jett. Soon to celebrate 40 years together, their new album with Rogers will be their 13th.
Directed by Descent Into the Maelstrom: The Radio Birdman Story director Jonathan Sequeira, the video for ‘Lite As A Feather’ is for fans of ’70s bubblegum cards, among other things.
It’s the second single from the band’s forthcoming album I’m Sorry Sir, That Riff’s Been Taken, which is their first album with Rogers, after their debut single ‘Hold Tight’.
