British rock band Hard-Fi spent a good deal of the 2000s writing some memorable tunes, from the r&b strains of 2005 debut single “Cash Machine” to the towering 2011 hit “Fire In The House” (which we still swear reminds us of Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain”). The Surrey band led by Richard Archer is currently in the studio working on its fourth studio record, but first, next week, we’re treated to a greatest hits compilation titled Best of 2004–2014.
Hard-Fi released three albums in that time, with 11 tracks on each release. The upcoming Best Of pulls from those three records and their various add-ons and deluxe additions for a whopping 18-track (plus one remix) collection.
That’s quite a success rate.
The anthology does have one new track, the groovy “Move Over,” which you can listen to up top. It features Archer’s trademark class-system snark.
Here’s the track list; Best Of 2004-2011 is out in the UK on January 27.
