Details
The third release in the Decade of Rock series, Love Is A Battlefield Of Wounded Hearts is a Hard-Ons album choc-full of fan favourites: Don't Wanna See You Cry, Kill Your Mum, Missing You Missing Me and Rejected are just some of the sublime power-pop and punk masterpieces on this album. Clocking in at just around half-an-hour, the original LP was a concise exercise in explosive rock 'n' roll. Effortlessly moving from pure power-pop to thrash-metal, The Hard-Ons displayed unthinkable musical maturity while consigning themselves to eternal critical damnation with their outrageously uncompromising lyrics. Undaunted by a lack of local critical acclaim, The Hard-Ons took on the world again and took this album to top 5 in the New Musical Express charts in the UK, the only Australian band to attain that feat while still being based in Australia. A clear and brilliant antidote to their fun but shambolic debut LP Dickcheese, Love Is A Battlefield Of Wounded Hearts is now expanded to a full double CD set. In addition to the original album, remastered to great detail, and the related 7" releases from that era, are tracks salvaged from wonderful FM radio performances, demo versions, various live tracks and two full unreleased studio sessions - including a whole alternate album session that was initially rejected by Waterfront Records: a real train-spotter's delight. Also included is an extensive booklet are retrospective liner-notes and never-before-seen photographs from this era. The Hard-Ons have opened their attics for their fans. Love Is A Battlefield Of Wounded Hearts is an astonishing documentation of a once-in-a-lifetime band at their absolute peak.
