 Charnelmind The Smart's recommendation | |
Hard-Fi are part of the growing cadre of new British guitar bands, but, unlike their compatriots such as Franz Ferdinand, the Kaiser Chiefs or The Departure, rather than taking their cues from new wave, post punk and 1980's indie, they've instead turned to Two-Tone and ska as well as the more moody elements of the Clash and the danceable rhythms of the Happy Mondays for their influences. Far from sounding like Specials copycats, however, what they've produced is unqiue and catchy indie rock about inner city tension, disillusionment and the frustration of being young and stuck in a dead end.
