But their love for music – their single driving force – hasn’t changed. But it’s a new set of problems, as the band faces line-up changes, a brutal assault and balancing family life with music. Aussies have fallen in love with **Ray** and** Blackie **in ***The Most Australian Band Ever!***. **The Hard-Ons **are older, and maybe a little bit wiser. Featuring **Tim Rogers** and **C.J.
