They're all right, too - usatoday.com

"A lot of my contemporaries sounded like they were trying to be deep but didn't actually say anything," he recalls. "They were making music for style cliques in the city. It took Morrissey, who was knocking on 50, singing First of the Gang to Die, to get me thinking. I started writing about my surroundings."

God I fucking hate Hard Fi.
Enough said, they all need shooting. One by one. And that bloke, the frontman, needs stringing by his bollocks.

      I like Hard-Fi, and I quite fancy Richard, although he has very big teeth (my friend calls him "Jaws"). They're ok, they're good down-to-earth lads.

        Doesn't allowing Belligerent Ghoul to have his name on the front page of the site everyday validate his misbehavior? This is the person who has stalked, insulted, and threatened more of this site's users than anyone else. Countless people have left because of him.

        Nevermind, for a moment, that he also brags about sending emails about David T. to the heads of Sanctuary. He brags that he's persuaded them to call David T. "Defamation Dave."

        How can we expect the site to improve, with regard to the trolling, when Ghoul is basically its Number 2 man? Ridiculous.

          I don't like Hard-Fi very much; in fact, that's an understatement, they irritate me by trying too hard (there's a pun to be had there). However, I'm prepared to overlook their 'feel my angst and sincerity' act to say that my friend's band, Trained Eye, are supporting them in Cleveland ... I'm not his PA, honest. They are likely to play Hard-Fi off the stage.
          And a question; how old is Archer? Why hadn't he discovered Morrissey's lyrical prowess before Quarry?

          But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory.

            ...Hard Fi are a music industry´s concoction. Savvy and sussed A&R men, with years of experience reading the fucking NME and such rags, finally came up with a group that has full corporate backing and an `indie´ style credential. Do I hate them? No, i just don´t really give a shit.

            Blaine Harrison (mystery jets lead singer) put it best when he said that this man looks like someone who would've beaten you up at school.

            Not sure what he's on either, but those pupils surely can't be that dilated naturally.
