On the back of a sharing stages for a just completed European tour together and following their 2025 US tour together with Napalm Death and the Melvins, Jerry A of legendary Portland powerhouse Poison Idea and his mates from Sydney the Hard-Ons – Blackie, Ray and Murray – are finally set to release an album.

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 product of their new collaboration came out in the form of single – “You Won’t Shut Up”/”Dead End Turnaround” – released ahead of the American dates last year. And now, having just shared stages together in Europe, the team, which will be known forthwith as Hard-Ons/Jerry A, have released the new single “My One Regret” and announced an August 14 release date for their long-awaited album.

The album, which is also known simply as Hard-Ons/Jerry A, will be released on Cheersquad Records & Tapes in Australia and NZ (and American Leather for the ROW) on August 14. It will be released digitally and CD, cassette (100 only) and a number of different vinyl pressings – black vinyl, black & white smash vinyl (100 only), half black/half white vinyl (100 only), white with black marble vinyl (100 only) – and it is available to pre-order now.

Of the collaboration, Blackie from the Hard-Ons 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.”

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 will bring to Australia together sometime in the not-too-distant future.
