Brothers Glenn Morris (lead guitar/lead vocals/songwriter) and Brian Morris (drums/vocals) grew up in a musical family, with their big brother Johnny, a singer, guitarist and songwriter, and their brother-in-law Dennis Wilson - a virtuoso guitar master. It’s no surprise that they spent a lot of time singing together on songs by the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and many other artists of that time.

Early this century they had teamed up once again in Sydney covers band The Zeros, when they were selected by the self-proclaimed “King of Power Pop” Paul Collins to be his backing band The Beat for an Australian tour in 2012. During that tour, Paul heard some of Glenn’s original tunes and strongly suggested that he should get them recorded and put out an album. Prior to that Glenn had been regarded mainly as a guitar player and backing singer in bands like Kings of the Sun, with whom he did a US and European tour opening for KISS, and Aussie indie legends The Screaming Tribesmen.

Once back home the boys hunkered down with Dennis Wilson in his studio and recorded the first The On and Ons album, with Glenn or Dennis on bass duties, and Dennis producing. After the album had been recorded Glenn and Brian recruited former Hoodoo Gurus bassist Clyde Bramley, The Stems’ Richard Lane on organ and guitar, and Jon Roberts, ex-Barbarellas, also on guitar, to fill out the live band.

The On and Ons have a new single “Looking Out Of A Mirror” b/w “Hey What’s Going On” out on 15th April ‘24 on French label Rogue Records. Our first record with new keyboard player John Hoey!' Available on 7” vinyl or download from: https://roguerecords.bandcamp.com/

‘Album number five, “Let Ya Hair Down!”, finds The On and Ons exploring new sonic textures and invoking a slightly tougher approach. The hook-laden song-writing, lockstep playing and uplifting harmonies remain intact, but there’s a sense of the band pushing fresh envelopes, too.

New CD/Download album release on Citadel Records (CITCD705) Release date - April 14th 2023 - Order direct from the band: http://theonandons.bandcamp.com or Citadel Mail Order: https://www.citadelmailorder.com

Right from the get-go punch of Vanishing Act, all the way through to the panoramic sweep of Your Kind Of World, The On and Ons have created another classic. Equal parts pop group and rock’n’roll band, they bring their greatest songs, their most swingin’ performances and more hooks than a tackle box to this record. It’ll make you want to run. Really fast. It’ll make you feel the best you ever have. It’s The On and Ons, and they’re Back For More! - Mark Mulligan

A power pop/rock/garage combo with an impeccable pedigree, The On and Ons arrived in 2015 - launching their debut CD album, "It's The On and Ons Calling", on Citadel. Glenn Morris (lead vocals, guitar) and his brother Brian (drums), of The Zeros (Aust), toured Australia and the US in 2012 as members of The Paul Collins Beat. The On and Ons are rounded out with Clyde Bramley (bass – ex Hoodoo Gurus)

Following that successful stint they were encouraged to record their own album of Glenn's original songs. The resultant album "It's The On And Ons Calling" was produced and engineered by legendary Australian guitarist Dennis Wilson, of Khavas Jute fame..

The 11 songs are rock/power pop with exceptional harmonies and classic instrumentation, and it has been receiving rave reviews around the world. "It's The On and Ons Calling" is available from Citadel - order yours here: It's The On and Ons Calling from Citadel Mail Order.
