The lead singer of an outspoken band said he admires Scousers for "not taking any bull****"" ahead of performing in Liverpool later this year.
Richard Archer is the lead singer of Hard-Fi, an indie rock band which unexpectedly reformed last year after an eight year hiatus. Hard-Fi, comprising of Richard, Ross Phillips, Kais Stephens and Steve Kemp, found great success in the noughties with hits such as Hard to Beat. They even rubbed shoulders with the likes of Oasis and Franz Feridnard at the 2006 BRIT awards were they were nominated for Best British Act.
However, by 2014 the band had stopped making music and many fans had given up hope of a return. Six years later, Richard stumbled across the power of livestreaming live music during lockdown with another band, OffWorld.
