Hard-Ons Peel Me Like A Egg (PBS Feature Record)

Right from the first note of the Hard-Ons' 11th album Peel Me Like A Egg (released through Citadel Records), you'll be tapping your feet and singing along to what is a great return for one of Australia's best underground rock bands. It's their first studio album in five years and the first to feature current drummer Murray Ruse, who sounds like he's always been there since day one. The thirteen tracks span punk, power pop and metal in true Hard-Ons style, and finished in just over 30 minutes – it's the sort of album that you can very easily put straight back on for another spin. The album is one of their most diverse and accomplished to date, featuring the trademark harmonies of returning original member Keish de Silva on backing vocals alongside Peter "Blackie" Black, the album is a great way to celebrate 30 years in the music business and is highly recommended for old and new fans alike. Great stuff!

Tune in to Junkyard this Thursday for an hour-long Hard-Ons special with Mike.

Catch them launching Peel Me Like A Egg at The Tote, Saturday April 25.

Marlon Williams Self-titled (Featured on The Breakfast Spread)

The phrase ‘watch this space’ gets used a lot in music, but it couldn’t be truer of Marlon Williams. Marlon’s debut self-titled album sounds like it was written by someone twice his age, with deep lyrics offset by beautifully crafted melodies. Fans of Justin Townes Earle, Johnny Cash and C.W Stoneking are likely to fall in love with Marlon’s story telling; from the energetic first song ‘Hello Miss Lonesome,’ through to the haunting ‘Strange Things’ and ‘When I Was A Young Girl.’ On his cover of the Bob Carpenter song ‘Silent Passage’ he channels the Canadian singer like he’s in the room with you. From start to finish this album is superb, lyrically and melodically. The longing in Marlon's songs is visceral – be prepared.
