Sydney punk rock legends, Hard-Ons were ground breaking in the sense that their band members family backgrounds reflected multi-cultural Australia in a way that wan't so common in the 80's and 90s.

Some of their stuff was a little more hardcore than my general taste at the time, but I got into some of the more melodic tunes like Where Does She Come From and have developed a greater appreciation of them in recent years.

Their most recent stuff has veered towards more straight-ahead indie rock (at least on their recorded stuff) with the addition of You Am I's Tim Rogers and there's nothing to not like about that.

Back in the late 80s there was an all woman band called The Wet Ones, and yes they did a tour with The Hard Ons
