Interview by Angela Croudace
It is hard to believe that the current line-up of the Hard-Ons
(Blackie, Murray, Ray and Tim) have been together long enough to be
putting out album number three, but it has to be true, because they
are!
I Like You A Lot Getting Older - which is out on October 4 -
follows 2021's ARIA top 5 debuting I'm Sorry Sir, That Riff's Been
Taken and last year's Top 30 debuting Ripper '23 and coincides with
the band's 40th Anniversary Australian Tour PLUS the premiere of a
new feature length documentary, The Most Australian Band
Ever.
These Aussie punk legends show no signs of slowing down. While I
Like You A Lot Getting Older is undeniably a pop album, Blackie
humorously labels it “Pop for old farts.” It’s the kind of pop that
embodies the Hard-Ons' signature style - not the Taylor Swift
variety as he made clear!
Despite having so much going on, guitarist Peter Black (Blackie)
found time to speak with HEAVY's newest contributor Angela
Croudace.
We start by asking if he can actually get his head around the fact
the Hard-Ons are about to celebrate 40 years as a band.
"I'm that old?", he laughed, "Excellent. No, I can't believe it.
When I actually stop to think about it - which I never do. I never
stop and I never think. Those two things, what are they? But when I
do stop to think about it, it's kind of like, far out, that's a
long bloody time."
Angela brings up the new doco, The Most Australian Band Ever.
"I don't know anything about it," Blackie laughed. "We're not
making it. I call him Johnno, but Jonathan Sequeira is making it
and he made the phenomenal doco on Radio Birdman, which I loved and
have seen four times. So when he approached us and said I'd like to
make a doco we all said shit yeah. The dude that made the Birdman
doco, for sure. So I'll see it when you see it. If you wanna go see
it, and I'm sure in his hands it's gonna be quite fun."
