In March 2021, founding member of the Sydney punk outfit, Keish de Silva, abruptly left the group over sexual misconduct allegations - Rogers then stepping up to the plate.
"I'm a fan first and foremost," Rogers said. "[They were] the first band I loved that I could see, the first band I got my nose broken to, [and the first band] I lost my hearing to. There are so many firsts."
The group will play at La La La's in Wollongong on June 1.
In their early days, the Hard-Ons shared bills with the likes of the Ramones and Nirvana and appeared on numerous Big Days Out. They scored a never-bettered 17 consecutive number 1s on the Australian independent charts.
The Hard-Ons' upcoming tour follows the unprecedented chart success and fantastic response to their new I'm Sorry Sir, That Riff's Been Taken album - their first with new singer Tim Rogers.
