Despite being a bit behind all the latest British Indie bands (there are so many of them!!!), I enjoyed Hard-Fi’s music when they hit the charts in 2005 with Cash Machine.

The fact of the matter is that Hard-Fi come across as more direct and less pretentious than their Indie-label bedfellows, and their music is always, well harder than them too.

Suburban Knights is the lead single from the band’s forthcoming second album Once Upon A Time In The West. I’m loving the big, mob chorus (hey, hey, hey) and the stabbling, distorted guitars.

Richard Archer pulls off a decent rock vocal on the track too, spitting out the lyric in places. He’s still singing about the “bills dropping through his door”, a frequent topic in Hard-Fi songs.

Suburban Knights: The Video

Suburban Knights is mostly a performance video, with the band playing on top of a building surrounded by satellite dishes, which ties in with the lyric “yeah, we rock the satellite”.
