"THE HARD-ONS pay tribute to founding member Ray’s racial heritage by releasing a Korean language 12” EP. Korean-born bass player Ray handles the lead vocal duties to four re-recorded Hard-Ons classics, digging deep to reacquaint himself with his mother tongue. 100% guaranteed to be free from Google Translate intervention! This absolutely unique and unusual recording is sure to intrigue and delight Hard-Ons fans and armchair linguists alike." - Stephen Ahn, the Bass player’s brother KOREAN LANGUAGE MINI-ALBUM includes the tracks: Where Did She come From? Raining Just Being With You Suck and Swallow OR: 그녀는 어디에서 왔을까? 비가 내리고 있어 너와 함께 있는 것만으로도 빨고 삼키고 It features Murray on drums, Blackie on guitar and Ray playing bass and singing lead vocals.

The trip will be happening thanks to the Australia-Korea Foundation 2025-26 grant received by Sequeira and Living Eyes Pty Ltd.
