Once Upon a Time in the West by Hard-Fi
Once Upon a Time in the West is an album by Hard-Fi, released in 2007. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Suburban Knights”, on 2 lists with a best position of #54.
Once Upon a Time in the West, Hard-Fi's second album, came out on 3 September 2007 and shot straight to number one on the UK Album Chart in its first week, a far quicker climb than their debut, Stars of CCTV, which needed six months to get there despite a Mercury Prize nomination. The Staines-upon-Thames band lined up as Richard Archer on lead vocals and guitar, Ross Phillips on guitar, Kai Stephens on bass and Steve Kemp on drums, all of them chipping in on backing vocals.
It's alternative rock built for big rooms and loud singalongs, the sound of a band pushing its hooks toward the back of bigger venues. It also made number five on the European Top Albums chart, and Once Upon a Time in December followed.
