Hard-Fi Return With Brand New Track Don't Go Making Plans First New Material In A Decade. Taken From Don’t Go Making Plans EP Out Nov 1st on Ignition Records UK Headline Tour This Autumn Which Includes London Homecoming @TheRoundhouse - Nov 30th.
Hard-Fi make their welcome return with brand new single “Don't Go Making Plans” on Ignition Records. Their first new material in ten years, the track marks a taste of forthcoming EP of brand new songs, as well as a UK headline tour this November. Rolling around a sun-scorched groove and boisterous beats, ‘Don’t Go Making Plans’ is an immediate, soul-infused summer anthem, recorded at the band’s own Staines studio, produced by frontman Richard Archer and long-term contributor Wolsey White. It’s the end result of the first session together since 2011 album ‘Killer Sounds’ and follows a series of sold-out tours and live shows over the last 18 months. As with many of the band’s songs, there is a thought-provoking depth behind Hard-Fi Pop sensibility. The song’s defiant themes were initially inspired by the UK Government's Attempts to criminalise many aspects of popular protest through the 2022 Public Order Act, while the issue has been thrown into even sharper focus over the last year as police and people have repeatedly clashed on streets around the globe.
