Hard-Fi round off an amazing year with the release of ‘Cash Machine'. Originally released as a limited edition single in January, ‘'Cash Machine' is the track that kicked everything off for Hard-Fi and has become a huge fan anthem during a string of sold out tours.
2005 has seen Hard-Fi sell over 200,000 copies of their acclaimed debut album ‘Stars Of CCTV', crash into the top 10 with the huge crossover single ‘Hard To Beat' and pick up nominations for the Mercury Music Prize and the ‘Best New Band' category at the Q Awards (where singer Richard Archer presented an award to Paul Weller). It's also a year that's seen Hard-Fi re-unite The Specials on stage for a once in a lifetime rendition of ‘Ghost Town' (at The Scala, London, 15th September) and finish the year with one of the fastest selling tours of 2005.
The stunning new video for ‘Cash Machine' has been produced by the acclaimed director, Dougal Wilson, famed for his work with The Streets (“Fit But You Know Itâ€), Dizzee Rascal (“Dreamsâ€) and the LCD Soundsystem (“Tribulationsâ€). Meanwhile Roots Manuva has contributed a remix of the track which will feature on the single formats.
Having just completed a sold out 17 date UK tour, Hard-Fi will be embarking on another nationwide tour in December - one of the most highly anticipated tours of the year. The dates sold out months ago, including three nights at London's Astoria venue which sold out in less than two hours.
