Hard-Fi <HardFiUK>


Hard-Fi are an Indie rock band from Staines, Surrey - a suburban location that has significantly influenced their musical style and lyrics.

Band Members:

Richard Archer is the group's frontman as the lead singer and principal songwriter. He also plays guitar live occasionally. He is a music graduate from Kingston University. The influence of Staines is often evident in his lyrics.

Ross Phillips contributes guitar and backing vocals. He worked in a local hi-fi shop, in Staines where Archer would come to play his demos on the latest systems. After telling Archer his music was rubbish, Phillips was recruited to play lead guitar for the group.

Kai Stephens plays bass and also sings backing vocals. He initially could not travel to the USA due to past misdemeanors. He has finally received his US visa.

Steven Kemp plays drums. Originally from Lancashire but moved down in his late teens due to a course and never left.

Wolsey White is the band's producer. He is also from Staines. Was previously in a band called Supermodel.

Wrongtom is the in-house remixer and tour DJ.

The band were signed to newly formed independent label, Necessary Records, owned by Warren Clarke. Originally recorded as a nine track mini-album in a disused mini cab office; it was then mixed in a variety of unusual acoustic environments - in bedrooms, in pubs, and in their producer, Wolsey White's, BMW. 1000 copies of this record were pressed with only 500 going on public sale. It quickly sold, receiving critical acclaim and radio play.

The band were then licensed to the Atlantic Records label (a major), where they were given the chance to re-record the album. The band went back to the cab office to maintain their sound.

Lyrics:

SUBURBAN KNIGHTS
Suburban days, they last so long,
In shop and office,
We sing our song we all sing...

We ain't got nothing, nothing to do,
A big fat nothing, Nothing for me, Nothing for you...

Suburban dreams, Just out of reach,
Work til you die, that's what they teach you at school,
With that in mind, what's there to lose?
My friends and I, doped up on tv fags and booze.

Hear them all singing...

CHORUS

We're the ones you've forgotten,
But we will not be denied,
Coming out of the shadows,
We rock the satellites!

Suburban Nights, They get so hot,
People get angry, We sing our song we all sing...

A Global terror they say, We are at war,
But I ain't got time for that cos,
These bills keep dropping through my door

CHORUS

All these people who, criticise us,
We're only saying what we're seeing with our own eyes..

This one way system, Ain't paradise,
Not everybody, Wants to race, wants to fight...

We're the ones you've forgotten,
But we will not be denied,
Coming out of the shadows,
We rock the satellites!

We're the ones you've forgotten,
Out of mind out of sight,
Coming out of the shadows,
Coming live via satellite...


I SHALL OVERCOME
New day dawning, wonder what it holds for me,
Sun is shining, Don't think that it will shine on me
I look around, nothing seems to have changed,
This dirty town, hasn't some how rearranged

And I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down,
"Just give it up" they say, "We just don't want you around
Not one of us, and we don't like to share."
Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swear...

I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
And it ain't pretty,no it ain't pretty...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I shall overcome.

Through my tears, I try to see your face,
But doubt and fear come calling, and crowd my head with words of hate,
Scream out please! Don't leave me hear alone,
Down on my knees, without you, without hope...

I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
And it ain't pretty,no it ain't pretty...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground.
Hold on, hold on... It's easy,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I know I shall overcome.

Just in time you call my name, pull myself up, to fight again.
I'll never let you down...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground.
Hold on, hold on... It's easy,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I know I shall overcome.


LIVING FOR THE WEEKEND
Oh, I've been working all week i'm tired,
I've been working all week and I'm,
Just livin for the weekend,

Hey hey, i've got some money i just got paid,
I got some money and i can't wait,
At 6 o'clock, I'm out of here,

Out there tonight is the night of my life got my name on,
Run down my street adidas on my feet i'm on fire...

CHORUS

Working all the time, work is such a bind,
Got some money to spend, I'm livin for the weekend,
When it gets too much, I live for the rush,
Got some money to spend, I'm livin for the weekend,

Oh man, I've been working all week i'm shot,
I've been working all week for what?
Just livin for the weekend,

Ah shit! So my clothes are all counterfeit,
So my name isn't on the list,
You can't come in so go home boys...

Slip round the back look at that there's a cracked toilet window,
Drop to the floor cold as ice through the door I'm on fire...

CHORUS

Working all the time, work is such a bind,
Got some money to spend, I'm livin for the weekend,
When it gets too much, I live for the rush,
Got some money to spend, I'm livin for the weekend,

Oh yeah, I look around me and i can see,
This place is full of people like me,
All livin for the
