With over a million UK album sales, 2 Number 1 albums, and 5 Top 20 singles, Hard-Fi have been a phenomenon. Having made their debut with the Mercury Prize-shortlisted 'Stars Of CCTV' in 2005, the album yielded singles that included 'Hard To Beat', 'Living For The Weekend' and 'Cash Machine' and has since been certified double platinum in the UK alone.
Second album Once Upon A Time In The West also topped the charts, and included lead single 'Suburban Knights', whilst third album Killer Sounds, was a Top 10 hit. The band also played one of the longest residencies at O2 Academy Brixton, a fully sold out feat they share with the likes of Bob Dylan, and The Clash, after performing for five nights straight in 2006.
In May 2024 they made their welcome return with brand new EP 'Don't Go Making Plans' on Ignition Records. Their first new material in ten years, as well as a big UK headline tour this November.

🆕 I hope people find this demo of 'Move On Now' interesting with some early ideas, basically ripping of Chas & Dave (via Labi Siffre, via Eminem).
Give it a listen here! 🎧 Hard-Fi.lnk.to/MoveOnNow
