Following the top 10 success of their swaggering anthem ‘Hard To Beat’, Hard-Fi prepare to release their new single ‘Living For The Weekend’.

The title says it all: ‘Living For The Weekend’ is an hedonistic blast of guitar riffs and synth stabs, documenting the grinding out of nine-to-fives in pursuit of that Friday night clubbing buzz craved by a whole generation of British society. For Hard-Fi the setting is Staines, tipping a nod to the town’s infamous night club Cheekees, but this is a song for anyone in any town. As front man Richard Archer sings: “Oh yeah, I look around me and I can see. This room is full of people like me. All living for the weekend”
