HARD-ONS 'The Secret Origin Of...' LP

'The Most Australian Band Ever! - The Secret Origin of the Hard-Ons' is the soundtrack to the documentary of the same name. It is directed by Jonathan J. Sequeira for production companies Living Eyes and Play Vintage - the man and the production house that made the acclaimed 2017 Radio Birdman documentary Descent Into The Maelstrom. The film premiered in October 2024 at SXSW in Sydney with a screening and Q&A at the Dendy Newtown, and has now been played all over the world, receiving multiple awards. Perfectly timed with the 40th anniversary of the Hard-Ons (2024), The Most Australian Band Ever offers insight into the band's long existence, with plenty of live footage and interviews and guest appearances from Dave Faulkner (The Victims, Hoodoo Gurus), Ross Knight (Cosmic Psychos), Jerry A (Poison Idea), Steven Hanford aka Thee Slayer Hippy (Poison Idea) and Rob Younger (Radio Birdman). The film has a particular focus on the Hard-Ons' early days, the obstacles - some self-inflicted - which they've had to overcome, and the legacy they've built.

The soundtrack to the album contains 15 choice cuts from the early days of the band as well as dialogue from the film.
