Hard-Fi - Stars of CCTV
I thought they were going to be another bunch of hyped-up scruffy twenty-somethings with a good-looking lead singer and one catchy track. I ended up really liking this album, and I was surprised. Plus it was recorded in an old cab office in Staines or Slough or something, which is cool.

Straight out of West London / just like a loaded gun / the cognoscenti don’t like us / they don’t like us…

Yeah, but I do.
