To celebrate a career spanning a decade and three Top 10 albums, Hard-Fi release ‘Best of 2004 – 2014’ today, containing their biggest hits alongside band and fan favourites.

Hard-Fi’s double Platinum debut ‘Stars of CCTV’ sold over 1 million copies worldwide, topped the UK album charts, and earned them a 2005 Mercury nomination. It spawned five Top 15 singles including ‘Hard to Beat’, ‘Cash Machine’ and ‘Living for the Weekend’, and made them the most played band on Radio 1 in 2006.

Their 2007 follow up ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ also went to No. 1 in the UK, producing  another Top 10 single ‘Suburban Knights’. Their third album ‘Killer Sounds’ fused their rock roots with a dance energy, producing tracks such as ‘Fire in the House’ and ‘Good for Nothing’.

Looking back over the last decade, frontman Richard Archer contemplates: “This really shouldn't have happened, a debut made on a laptop in a nicotine stained broom cupboard - a musical style at the time so out of step with what we were being told to like... I just couldn't imagine anyone actually saying 'yes' let alone the journey which we've been on for, unbelievably, 10 years.”
