hard-fi crap/not crap

[milesy]

sorry to bump this old thread, but i keep hearing hard-fi on the radio, and every time i do it just confirms to me that they truely are fucking dreadful. quite often i grow to tolerate stuff i really hate and i can bear to have it on for a while, sometimes i find myself growing to think it's okayish.

but not hard-fi. the more i hear 'em, the worserer they get.

that, as rory would say, is all.

I'm glad you bumped it milesy, cos I missed it first time around, so now hwve the chance to add my "CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAP!" vote.

Every time one of their songs starts up on the radio, I think "Hmm, who's this? Could be interesting" and within 30 seconds I'm shouting at the radio "Oh fuck me no, not fucking hard-fi again, no!"

 

[Rollem]

i voted not crap

but thats not to say i would buy their music

or think they are good

just dont think they are crap

 

[Wolfie]

but you're wrong Rollem
they are crap

FACT!


(what's that sample on their single from then?)

 

[Rollem]

i'll have you know i am never wrong

simply of a different opinion, to which you haven't cottoned onto yet

 

[milesy]

no. never wrong, our Rollem.

 

[Wolfie]

not often wrong, I'll admit.

but this time, most definitely wrong.


and I didn't realise she was yours milesy, where do you keep her?

 

[milesy]

in the dingy little cellar.

 

[Leon]

Shit man. There was I thinking Hard-fi were kinda cool in a new wave Clash kinda way.

Seems I was wrong. It's another message from up above telling me I'm too old to hang with the kids.

But I still like them - I suppose because they really do sound like a poor man's Clash - and I reckon if I was 17 again I'd think they were great.

Sorry boys.

 

[Sweet FA]

Christ, how many times? Hard-Fi do not sound like the Clash. The Clash weren't crap; Hard-Fi are. It couldn't be simpler.

 

[Leon]

Nah, they do. Whether you like them or not.

 

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

It's quite simple really. The reason all the cooler-than-thou music snobs and elitists hate Hard-Fi so much is because NME likes them - that's all. It would have been exactly the same if this were twenty years ago and it were Dexy's in question.

The politics of whether it's cool/uncool to like whatever band doesn't register with me personally. I heard 'Tied Up too Tight' and it blew me away - nothing more, nothing less.

As a card carrying snob and elitist, I should point out that:

a) I don't actually hate them, I've got much better things to waste my 's on and;

b) They are really ordinary to these ears.

i just downloaded their album
i think the people who are cooler than thou don't like it
cos it's not very good
this sounds like a hard fi lyric
cos it's not very good

a big fat LOL to that! apart from an nme that my daughter bought me last year, because the pixies were in it, I've not read the nme in about 15 years!

I am so out of touch and not cool it's sad - but it doesn't detract from the fact that Hard-Fi are really really crap, not much makes me turn off the radio, but they do, everytime.
