Hard-Ons and Guitar Wolf

The Hard-Ons, from Punchbowl, Sydney, rose to fame in the '80s with their energetic punk sound and irreverent style, blending metal influences. Known for sharing stages with Nirvana and the Ramones, they achieved 17 consecutive #1s on the Australian indie charts and hit the NME top 5. Celebrating nearly 40 years, they're now on their 13th album featuring Tim Rogers.

Guitar Wolf, a Japanese rock band formed in 1987, is famous for its loud, extreme rock style and black leather look. Popular for songs like "狼惑星," they debuted internationally with "Wolf Rock" in 1993 and later signed with Matador Records. Seiji's humorous, galaxy-themed lyrics and their worldwide tours, especially in Japan, the US, EU, and Australia, have earned them a global fanbase. Despite lineup changes, their iconic sound and perseverance inspire rock fans globally.
