THE REVIEW

Four-lines-four are enough to understand everything about a band? More than that, if we're talking about the Hard-Ons, here dealing with their immortal anthem «Girl In The Sweater».

I start with the music... Do you have the vinyl of «Rocket To Russia»? No? Too bad for you; otherwise, if you own it, I say well done and I invite you to put it on at 78 RPM.

I move on to the lyrics... Do you understand English? If the answer is no, imagine a practical guide to safe sex, in the sense that, by following the rules, you’re sure to score a quickie.

Four-lines-four, as promised, and you know everything about the Hard-Ons.

And for each line, a note of merit for these three extremely flashy exponents of pogo-pop from distant Australia.
