Formed in Staines in 2003. Key albums: Stars Of CCTV (2005), Once Upon A Time In The West (2007), Killer Sounds (2011). Frontman: Richard Archer. Themes in reviews include working-class life and desire to escape Staines.

DeBaser reviews present Hard-Fi as a promising Staines-born indie rock band: Stars Of CCTV is widely praised for energy and social themes, while Once Upon A Time In The West drew criticism for a radio-friendly, commercial turn. Reviewers highlight standout singles like Cash Machine and Suburban Knights.

For:Fans of 2000s British indie rock and readers interested in contrasting debut acclaim with sophomore criticism.
