Hard-Fi

Hard-Fi, the British indie rock band, perform at the O2 Institute Birmingham on this visit to the city. The concert is a chance to hear the group's mid-2000s catalogue in a live setting.

Hard-Fi are an indie rock band from Staines, Surrey, formed in the early 2000s and associated with the British guitar-band revival of the mid-2000s. Their debut album, Stars of CCTV, came out in 2005 and included the singles Hard to Beat and Living for the Weekend. The follow-up, Once Upon a Time in the West, was released in 2007.

The band's music draws on angular guitars and direct, anthemic choruses, the style that defined much of the indie scene of that period. Listeners who know Stars of CCTV will recognise the songs that shaped the band's early reputation, while newer listeners can hear how the group's sound developed across its records.

The concert takes place at the O2 Institute Birmingham, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city. The night will appeal to fans of British indie rock from the mid-2000s and to anyone wanting to hear these songs performed live.
