The Hard-Ons are the subject of a new feature length documentary film, The Most Australian Band Ever, which will premiere October 16 at Sydney's SXSW festival.

The Most Australian Band Ever is directed by Jonathan J. Sequeira for production companies Living Eyes and Play Vintage - the man and the production house that made the acclaimed 2017 Radio Birdman documentary Descent Into The Maelstrom (and it's worth mentioning the Hard-Ons just opened for Birdman on the three sold out Sydney shows that closed out their Birdman 5-0 tour). The film is set to premiere October 16 at SXSW in Sydney with a screening and Q&A at the Dendy Newtown. Perfectly timed with the anniversary, The Most Australian Band Ever offers insight into the band's long existence, with plenty of live footage and interviews and guest appearances from Dave Faulkner (The Victims, Hoodoo Gurus), Ross Knight (Cosmic Psychos), Jerry A (Poison Idea), Steven Hanford aka Thee Slayer Hippy (Poison Idea) and Rob Younger (Radio Birdman). The film has a particular focus on the Hard-Ons' early days, the obstacles - some self-inflicted - which they've had to overcome, and the legacy they've built.

Additional screenings of the film have also been announced.
