Following the release of the once-seen-never-unseen video for latest single ‘Apartment For Two’, and in the midst of their 20th European tour, The Hard-Ons have announced the supports for their upcoming Ripper ’23 tour. The tour kicks off June 26 and takes in Ballarat, Torquay, Melbourne, Castlemaine, Wollongong, Sydney, Maroochydore, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It follows the release of their 14th studio album Ripper ’23, which is out June 2 on Cheersquad Records & Tapes.
Melbourne and Torquay fans are in for a special treat with the reappearance of much-loved ’80s/’90s pop-hardcore band Nursery Crimes, who will be making their first appearances since they toured with the Descendents last decade. Melbourne, Castlemaine and Sydney also get Argentinian hardcore legends Boom Boom Kid.
