C'est en 2002 que se forme Hard-Fi, un groupe de rock indie britannique originaire de Staines (Middlesex).

Le premier album de Hard-fi : Stars of CCTV fut initialement enregistré comme un mini-album de neuf postes. Il fut mixé dans un large ensemble d'environnements aux acoustiques fort différentes (Chambres, cafés, ou encore dans la BMW du producteur. Seulement 1000 copies de cet enregistrement furent pressées dont seulement 500 destinées à la vente publique. Cela se vendit très rapidement, recevant des commentaires et critiques postives ainsi qu'une diffusion radio.

Le groupe se lia au label Atlantic Records label, grâce auquel ils purent réenregistrer l'album, ce qu'ils firent en conservant les conditions d'enregistrement utilisées pour l'essai précédent.

HARD-Fi gained increased prominence in the UK when Stars of CCTV was nominated for the 2005 Mercury Music Prize.[1]. It split the vote with Antony and the Johnsons who received the final casting vote.

HARD-Fi supported Green Day at their two massive gigs at Milton Keynes Bowl, England.

After a successful marketing campaign by Atlantic, the Stars of CCTV album re-entered the official UK album chart at No.4 on January 1, 2006. Two places higher than it originally went in on the week of its release, the album climbed from No.33. Stars of CCTV finally climbed to No.1 on January 22, 2006. The band's re-release of Cash Machine entered the official Top 40 singles chart at No.14 on January 1. A week later the band toasted national recognition as they received two Brit award nominations.

HARD-Fi's first full length tour of 2006 sold out in just 15 minutes calling for more dates to be added. They will now play London's Brixton Academy from May 14 to May 18, making them one of the few bands to play five consecutive nights there. The other artists to do so were The Clash, Bob Dylan, Massive Attack and The Prodigy.

They also have their own video podcast, which is known as 'HARD-Fi: Rockin' the City', that can be downloaded from their official website. In the first episode the bandmates discuss how they formed, the rise of their successful album Stars of CCTV. As well as talking about becoming increasingly more recognised and playing huge gigs with Green Day at the Milton Keynes Bowl. The band also talk about their home-town of Staines, and how it has influenced their music style, this talk is coupled with clips of some of HARD-Fi's music videos such as "Hard to Beat", "Cash Machine", "Tied Up Too Tight" and "Living for the Weekend".

Ils sortent en 2005 leur premier album, Stars Of CCTV.
