Hard-Fi take a stunning left turn and unveil brand new Latin-inspired single ‘Digo Nada’, taken from their long-awaited new studio album Sweating Someone Else’s Fever, their first in 15 years, out on June 19th via V2 Records.
‘Digo Nada’ – Spanish for ‘I Say Nothing’ – finds frontman Richard Archer bringing in his love of Cumbia music, recruiting UK-based Colombian rapper Mike Kalle for an added flair.
My wife’s from Central America and I got into Cumbia music because of Joe Strummer, then going out to El Salvador with her and hearing more tunes and getting into stuff like Manu Chao – I liked it and it felt quite punk rock
The album follows the band’s reunion that sparked during lockdown, when Archer livestreamed Stars of CCTV and was overawed by the exceptional response. A comeback show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town sold out in minutes, reminding the quartet why they started. From there came 2024’s Don’t Go Making Plans EP, and then, naturally, new music.
And that brings us to the here and now: the band have announced a run of in-store shows to coincide with the album’s release, before heading into festival season and taking on three huge headline dates in December – London, O2 Academy Brixton, O2 Institute Birmingham & O2 Ritz Manchester, seeing them back where they belong, on the country’s biggest indoor stages.
