 Few bands will be able to ape the meteoric rise of Hard-Fi, who seemed to effortlessly make the transition from recording a debut album (costing 300pounds) to selling out 5 nights at the Brixton Academy- and all in the time it takes to say 'critically acclaimed suburban rock'.Suburban Knights is the first single from their latest and hotly anticipated LP Once Upon A Time In The West. There are no indications of a massive shift in musical direction as the mix of inner city pride and angst are still worn proudly on their sleeves. This is another anthemic belter that's sure to please everybody.It's refreshing to see them return with a strong single and doing what they do best. 2007 has seen a mass sophomore slump with bands taking themselves far too seriously on their second outings - judging from this the signs are that Hard-Fi will be one of the few to successfully buck that trend.
