New Hard-Fi Live Video - "Tonight (Acoustic)"
Staines-based outfit Hard-Fi's a hit with the Brit kids, with two records to their name, both of which hit #1. The most recent, Once Upon A Time In The West, sees Stateside release today, which the band's celebrating with some clips from a live session recorded in London's Air Studios a little while back. On "Tonight," singer Richard Archer's called it a "big piano driven number," mentioning it's "about the possibility of night time." This clip does little by way of recreating the night or the piano -- it's a well-lit studio, with Hard-Fi manning the acoustics; the verses don't hit with much heft, either, but the hook and (especially) the backing vox give it a sense of scene-stealing drama. "History is made at night," continued Archer, and you get the sense he's used "Tonight" to woo a girl or two afterhours. With that chorus, probably worked, too.
Once Upon A Time In The West is out in the US today on Atlantic.

Hard-Fi are horrible horrible horrible - bad late 90's indie allied to pseudo class-war posturing by people with no fashion sense.
And the singer just makes me want to destroy his face. Just cave it in.

Totally agree with Jamie. Saw them play with the Cribs last year and I felt an all-encompassing rage pass through me throughout the whole set while they played. Lots of people posture but these guys, woowww. And the chubby NYU girls in attendance were loving it. Complete pseudo-Clash attire matched to pre-recorded backing tracks, with lots of wanky mic grabs and face touching by the singer. sorry but just the mention of their name makes me seeeethe

Shittier than Hilary Duff.

I like the 'Fi. Their lyrics are pretty cliched, but they can really deliver some big choruses and pretty decent backing vocals.
This song's one of my favorites on the new record.

Hard Fi are awful, why they're being mentioned here is an absolute mystery. This is not why I visit this site. I think the 'Gum is in somebody's pocket.

just curious... If you don't like Hard-Fi.... then why are you even on this page? Do you really think you are going to dissuade anyone whose already made a decision about them from liking them?

Seriously is everyone an indie hater or something. Hard Fi makes pretty decent music compared to what else they show on tv. I liked their first album alot, but really haven't found many songs that I like on their second release.
Score = 0
I don't care what anyone else thinks of them - i just detest them, and wanted to let the world know.
I say the same thing to friends/strangers when i see them on TV or hear them in a shop or something.
Leave me alone
You're not my real dad

Does anyone else think the singer looks like a vampire or some other creature of the dark? Just me? ok
