Biography

Punk-inspired English indie rock quintet Hard-Fi formed in 2002. Featuring a brash mix of Dexys Midnight Runners melodies, Franz Ferdinand hooks, and the theatrics of the Dead 60s, the band hit the U.K. charts in 2005 with singles such as [roviLink="MC"]"Cash Machine," [roviLink="MC"]"Tied Up Too Tight," and [roviLink="MC"]"Hard to Beat," even earning a Mercury Music Prize nomination for 2006's Stars of CCTV. It was released in the U.S. in March, and although it didn't make quite as big a splash stateside, it still set up high expectations for Hard-Fi's next record, Once Upon a Time in the West, which came out in September of 2007. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
