Sweating on the release of the new Stones record "Foreign Tongues"? Hard-Ons stole a march on them today with a foreign tongue effort of their own, releasing a mini-album with bassist Ray Ahn singing in Korean.
“Korean Language Mini Album” (hey, what else would you call it?) features versions of early Hard-Ons classics “Where Did She come From?”, “Raining”, “Just Being With You” and “Suck and Swallow”.
In other words:
그녀는 어디에서 왔을까?
비가 내리고 있어
너와 함께 있는 것만으로도
빨고 삼키고
The A side incorporates the songs, while the B side features artwork by Ray etched into the vinyl. It will be available in four variants - the colours of the Korean flag - blue, red, white and black. You can order a copy here.
It follows the release on Tuesday of the band’s digital single with Jerry A from Poison Idea. “My One Regret” is a precursor to a new album (also with Jerry A) on August 14.
That one is procurable on pre-order from Cheersquad in a myriad of variants here.
Hard-Ons will accompany director Jonathan Sequeira to Korea for screenings of his documentary, “The Hard-Ons: The Most Australian Band Ever”, in September as guests of The Australian Korea Foundation.
