Underneath the spider tree What should you find there but me? Now you see me and now you won't I’m just a trick of your light, of your light Heart, don't use that word Don’t use that word on me And kiss, yes we can kiss But please don't fall for me Heart, don't use that word Don’t use that word on me And kiss, yes we can kiss But please don't fall for me Please stop holding me so tight I know you like my lady shape You’re holding me way too tight I'm just a trick of the night, of your night Please, don't stare so hard Don’t stare so hard at me And do, do you have to sweat? You’re getting it over me And please, can we just fuck? Without you falling for me And do, do you have to sweat? You’re getting it all over me I feel like we’ve been here before I feel like we’ve been here before I feel like we’ve been here before I feel like we’ve been here before I feel like we’ve been here before I feel like we’ve been here before I feel like we’ve been here before I’m bejewelled as you can see I’m dirty kneed beneath this tree I can tell when ya lips are licked Dirty boy beneath this tree Beneath this tree Beneath this tree

about

The Hard-Ons release ‘Needles and Pins (sic)’ on 7” vinyl, taken from their recent album “I’m Sorry Sir, That Riff’s Been Taken”, which had unprecedented chart success, and is their first album with new singer Tim Rogers. The B-side features the exclusive non-album track ‘Spider Tree’ (an out-take from the album). The ‘Needles & Pins’ 7" single is released on coloured vinyl as a strictly limited edition of 300: 100 in hot pink, 100 in clear teal and 100 in black vinyl.

Of the new single, Hard-Ons co-founder and bass player Ray Ahn has said, "The Hard-Ons are in love with the music and beauty of pop"

Guitarist and fellow co-founder Blackie adds, "People usually scoff (politely Emoji) when I insist we're a pop band … SEE!!"

"The energy this band presents is incredible, and Rogers’ adds a new progressive vocal element and a tambourine and hand claps at times. ... I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen The Hard-Ons, and they are amazing every time. A great night." - Punktuation

"Sporting new frontman Tim Rogers on vocals, Blackie, Ray and Murray exploded into their signature pedal to the metal thrash punk rock from the get go... There was a bit of back and forth banter, but they were clearly here to do a job – and that was to blow the roof off the Factory – which they proceeded to do... the Hard-Ons are still the Hard-Ons." - Searching for the Brown Note

"Long story short - I'm still reeling. The Hard-Ons have crossed the Rubicon and what they're doing in Australia is anyone's guess. Right now they should be out slaying the world, Europe then USA, then South America... I've seen this outfit several times over the years (with a bunch of gaps between) and ... this is their most impressive incarnation. The maturity, the simplicity of the songs, the power ... all this goes to waste if you don't have a brilliant front-man." - I-94Bar

I Was Cruel is my absolute favourite Magic Dirt track. I prefer the 9-minute 10" version with Daniel which hasn't been reissued since the 90s (hopefully soon!) but the album version with Dave T is still an absolute beast. Adam's drumming throughout this album is astounding. peterbarkercurated
