In 1974 a group of outsiders from Sydney formed a band, RADIO BIRDMAN. Determined to do things their own way, they created a venue (The Funhouse) and self released their own music (Crying Sun Records). The members intensity and drive would eventually cause friction which led to their own end in 78, just as the 'new rose' of punk was blooming around the world in the late 70s, Birdman's was over.

"CALM DOWN, IT'S THE FUCKIN HARD ONS!"
"Three ethnic school kids from Sydney's western suburbs form a punk band in the 80s. The Hard-Ons fight racism, the music industry and the rise of grunge with their pop punk noise, irreverent humour and absolute commitment to just being themselves."
