hard-fi – stars of the cctv

so i was flipping through channels last night and i caught hard-fi playing on jimmy kimmel. i’m seriously impressed with the music on late night shows now. i remember discovering death from above 1979 and kaiser chiefs on late night tv too. anyways, hard-fi has been a band i’ve wanted to check out for a while now. they were a finalist on the mercury prize shortlist, and after listening to stars of the cctv, it’s obvious that the nomination was well deserved. they are easily one of the most energetic bands i have heard this year. with smart lyrics and heavy synth, they will probably attract many comparisons to the kaiser chiefs and kasabian, both of which are not without merit. they’re already huge in england, and judging by the kasier chiefs’ sucess last year, i won’t be suprised if they start making waves on this side of the pond as well.

hard-fi – cash machine
hard-fi – hard to beat
