Australian punk rock institution Hard-Ons returned to Auckland on Friday night, bringing more than four decades of raw energy, blistering riffs and unmistakable attitude to an enthusiastic crowd at The Mothership.
Led by Tim Rogers (vocals), alongside founding members Peter “Blackie” Black (guitar) and Ray Ahn (bass), with Murray Ruse on drums, the band once again proved why they remain one of the most influential names in Australian punk rock.
From the opening notes to the final encore, the atmosphere was loud, fast and relentless, with fans packing the venue to witness a band that continues to deliver with the same passion and intensity that has defined its career since 1982.
Gasmask Bunny was there on behalf of Red Raven News to capture the action on and off the stage. Browse the gallery below for a glimpse into an unforgettable night of sweat, smiles, soaring guitars and pure punk rock energy at one of Auckland’s most intimate live music venues.
Support on the night came from Fireshark, Growndownz and The Bright Ideas, who each brought their own energy to The Mothership stage ahead of the headliners.
