Following their 2025 US tour together with Napalm Death and the Melvins, Jerry A of Portland's Poison Idea and his mates from Sydney The Hard-Ons - Blackie, Ray and Murray - have finally announced their joint album, which is titled simply Hard-Ons/Jerry A.
The Hard-Ons first toured with Poison Idea back in the late '80s and first recorded with Jerry A as guest vocalist back in 1993 - Jerry co-wrote and sung the track "The Blade" on their Too Far Gone album. The track recently resurfaced on Jerry's solo album From The Fire Into The Water. The first produce of their new collaboration came out last in the form of single - "You Won't Shut Up"/"Dead End Turnaround" - released ahead of the American dates last year.
Of the collaboration, Blackie tells us "We toured and collaborated a few times before and always talked about getting serious... well here's the start of that. Hard-Ons with Jerry A!! It's happening."
The two bands - Jerry A and Poison Idea and the Hard-Ons - shared not only a mutual history and a significant level of influence but a mutual love of all things hard and fast. Both bands formed in the early '80s, having been weened at a young age on the classic punk of the late '70s as well as its high energy rock'n'roll precursors. Both bands quickly became iconoclastic transgressors of both good taste and punk convention as they moved into harder/wilder realms later in the decade, and both bands spent much of the '90s sitting atop - and at the same time somewhat apart from - the international hardcore scene.
Hard-Ons/Jerry A is a sledgehammer hardcore punk rockn'roll assult which will appeal to fans of Dickcheese and Feel the Darkness both, and it provides an explosive taste of what fans will hear when Jerry A and the Hard-ons take to the stage together again later in the year.
