The sequel to ‘The Most Australian Band Ever!’
The Hard-Ons survived racism, violence and the music industry.
Now they face their greatest challenge – cancel culture in the digital age.
Synopsis
It’s 1997, and the Hard-Ons reform after a three year break. But things have changed, and the underground music scene is now a commercial beast, run by hipster taste-makers. The high-school band from Punchbowl are now yesterday’s heroes. But their love for music – their single driving force – hasn’t changed.
But it’s a new set of problems, as the band faces line-up changes, a brutal assault and balancing family life with music. And then things get worse - instead of being beaten up by racist skinheads, it’s keyboard warriors attacking them for being racist when they tour with Rose Tattoo.
Aussies have fallen in love with Ray and Blackie in ‘The Most Australian Band Ever!’. The Hard-Ons are older, and maybe a little bit wiser.
Featuring Tim Rogers and C.J. Ramone, Harder and Harder is an amazing true story of Aussie music and passion.
