Staines indie rock band HARD-FI have revealed details of how they will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, ‘Stars Of CCTV‘.

Two years after their formation, the band released their iconic record in to the world. Reaching #1 in the Official UK Album Charts back in 2005, the album features hit singles ‘Hard to Beat‘, ‘Living For the Weekend‘, ‘Tied Up Too Tight‘ and ‘Cash Machine‘, with all four inside the Top 20 Singles Chart.

In a press release, Richard Archer recalls “We were skint, recording in a freezing old minicab office, but we knew we had something raw and real. ‘Stars’ was our life – watching mates struggle in dead end jobs, police mobile surveillance vans parked up watching our every move, but still finding the thrill in a night out, music, street culture and celebrating a lifestyle familiar to anyone stuck on the outskirts, in satellite towns up and down the country”.

HARD-FI are set to re-release their debut album on vinyl, CD and digitally. Pre-order HERE.

The 2CD version will feature the original album, B-sides, demos, unreleased material and live tracks, whilst the double-LP will feature the full album + B-sides and demos.
