"A bond exists now and forevermore among Hard-Ons and their fans": Australian punk legends launch vinyl record containing their actual blood

Hard-Ons members Raymond Ahn and Peter ‘Blackie’ Black have their blood taken.

Much-loved Australian punk legends Hard-Ons have produced a limited edition vinyl record made with their actual blood. The album is included in a limited edition box set of their critically-acclaimed 2024 documentary Hard-Ons: The Most Australian Band Ever!

The deluxe edition box set is set to ship in December and also includes a Blu-ray edition of the film – which won the Best Film prize at the LA Punk Film Festival in 2024 – plus a 16-page booklet, 45 minutes of bonus content, a CD soundtrack album (tracklist below) containing music and dialogue from the film, two packs of Most Australian Band Ever! trading cards, an iron-on transfer and a sticker.

For those concerned about medical hygiene, we're reliably informed that guitarist Peter ‘Blackie’ Black and bassist Raymond Ah's blood "was extracted on August 21st 2025 and has been under guarded refrigeration until it was delivered to Pallas vinyl pressing plant in Diepholz, Germany" before being "lovingly poured into the vats."
