Hard-Fi

Hard-Fi is a British indie rock band whose concerts are held at O2 Academy Brixton in London. The night brings the group's guitar-driven songs to a south London venue.

Hard-Fi is an indie rock band from Staines, formed in the early 2000s and associated with the British guitar revival of that decade. Richard Archer has been the band's lead singer and guitarist since its formation. The group's debut album, Stars of CCTV, released in 2005, contained the singles that brought them wider attention, including Hard to Beat, whose stop-start guitar riffs and sharp social observations mark much of the band's writing.

The band's music draws on post-punk and Britpop-era guitar pop, with lyrics that often turn to everyday urban life in Britain. Their songs are built around rhythmic guitar parts and sing-along choruses, which suit a live setting.

O2 Academy Brixton is a music venue in south London, and it hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. The venue is well placed for audiences travelling across the capital, and its programme is aimed at fans of guitar-based rock and indie music.
