   ▓████▓▌       The Dublin Castle often plays host to great new           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       British bands and this night was no exception.            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Hard-Fi, a group of young lads with bags of               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       attitude and a suburban London sound to match, have       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       only just released their debut album 'Stars Of            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       CCTV' on Necessary Records but still packed out           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       this intimate Camden venue with fans and industry         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       alike, eager to get a glimpse of Staines' latest          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       offering.                                                 ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       Their sound is a heavily influenced melting pot of        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       The Clash, The Streets with a hint of Daft Punk yet       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       they have somehow managed to stamp their own              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       trademark mix of high-end guitar and low, melodic         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       bass - smothered with Richard Archer's moody              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       'street' vocals, which somehow keeps Hard-Fi fresh,       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       novel and exhilarating.                                   ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       Their first single from the album, 'Cash Machine'         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       is a commercial dream of screeching guitar stabs          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       backed with a funky bass line and broken drum beats       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       whist 'Hard To Beat', 'Middle Eastern Holiday'            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       (their imposing opener) and 'Gotta Reason' bring a        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       more hip Clash/Pistols driven, hard punk                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       credibility to their set. The band have brilliantly       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       balanced their songs, blending melodic commercial         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       pop with punk cool, which will ultimately attract         ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       Frontman, Rich Archer, is a star in the making with       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       his dark, sultry looks - strutting and staggering         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       around the stage in a Gallagher-esque manner,             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       oozing attitude and pouring sex appeal over his           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       audience. The band is tight yet sustain more raw          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       energy than the Dublin Castle can contain. These          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       boys are definitely destined for grander pastures.        ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       appetiser for greater tastes to follow, it is quite       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       a credible piece of work.  The single 'Cash               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Machine' with its funky melodic bass and                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       synthesised keyboard hook evokes the spirit of The        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Clash. 'Hard To Beatmix' is a perfect example of          ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       couldn't have a better influence on your music.           ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       The start to the Fuse season was given a boost in         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       its second week by the appearance of Pink Grease.         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Fresh from the Reading festival they blew most of         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the crowd away with music off their album This Is         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       For Real. However, a small group in the venue             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       justifiably believed Pink Grease were overshadowed        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       by their support act Hard-Fi.                             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Hard-Fi's set was a passion fuelled lesson in how         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       rock should be written and performed. They mixed a        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       sense of rage against society with rocking guitars        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and melodicas (that harmonica keyboard thing). They       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       took to the stage with energy and a passion for           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       music that everyone could see, and this remained          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       for their entire set.                                     ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Their music seemed to have been influenced by             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Feeder and the Libertines. However, they managed to       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       stamp a refreshing air of originality to the music.       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       They performed their set as if they were performing       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       to a much larger crowd and in a much grander venue.       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Each song had a huge amount of passion fuelling it        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and the band played for the sheer enjoyment of it.        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       This allowed them to get on and play good music as        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       well engage the crowd. When introducing their song        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Cash Machine Richard Archer, the lead vocalist,           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       told the crowd "most of you can relate to this.           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       It's about being skint."                                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       The headliners Pink Grease, to be fair, were an           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       extremely good act and deserved to have played the        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       sort of gigs they have. Their set was an action           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       packed rocking experience. On any other night they        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       would have fully deserved to headline Fuse, or at         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       least not have been overshadowed. But on that night       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the stars of the show were the supporting act.            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Throughout their set the underlying sense of              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       belief in their music was apparent and it was             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       obvious that the band had written songs that they         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       liked, unlike some bands where marketability is the       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       main deciding factor. However, I also believe that        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Hard-Fi's music will appeal to a large audience           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       because, at the base of it all, they really are           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       that good. With songs like Cash Machine and Middle        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Eastern Holiday they will appeal to a diverse range       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of music lovers. Their album Stars of CCTV is out         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       on November 1 on Necessary records and I urge             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       people to go out and buy it, you won╣t regret it.         ▓▌
