Hard-Fi

3rd July 2025 (early show) at Pryzm, Kingston

Now it’s time for a trip back in time, not to the 90s, but the heady days of 2005…

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of debut album Stars of CCTV, Hard-Fi played the album in full. 

We heard hit after hit after fantastic album track. There were five singles released from this album of 11 tracks and many of the tracks in between sound like they could have been, like Unnecessary Trouble sandwiched between Tied Up Too Tight and Better Do Better.

Sharing fond memories of Kingston, singer Richard Archer regaled us with stories of his time here while at Kingston University.

Hard To Beat is one of my favourite songs from the 2000s and sounded fantastic in the middle of the set. 

Hard-Fi sounded fresh and exciting and I forgot for a while which decade we are in!
