"Suburban Knights" was the opening shot from Once Upon a Time in the West, Hard-Fi's second album, landing as a download in early August 2007 with the physical single two weeks behind it. Richard Archer wrote it alone and co-produced it with Wolsey White, Paul "P Dub" Walton engineered and chipped in extra production, and Mark "Spike" Stent mixed, while the London Studio Orchestra widens the band's swagger with strings.
The rollout was a tease: Soccer AM aired barely 15 seconds of the intro when the band dropped by on 19 May, and the full thing had to wait for Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 on 20 June. It went on to hit number 7, Hard-Fi's biggest UK single, picked up a best-track nod at the 2007 Q Awards and rode along on the Forza Motorsport 3 soundtrack.
