INDIE band Hard-Fi are to play in Edinburgh as part of a Rock Against Racism tour.
The popular group, who had a top ten hit with Hard to Beat and a number one album, will launch the Scottish Government campaign, which aims to tackle racist attitudes. The band will play at the city's Liquid Room on Monday, February 25.

Frontman Richard Archer said: "Although we don't see ourselves as a political band, if you talk about 'real life' things in your lyrics, things you believe in, then that's intrinsically linked to politics.

"We all feel very strongly that racism needs to be tackled head-on and we're delighted to be involved with Rock Against Racism."

what a joke here we go again with the anti white brigade its about time racism was tackled in this country instead of blaming every incident on the white person i dare the een to walk into their local shop and listen to the racism directed at every white person in every single asian shop i used to work for an asian family until i taped them talking about me and other members of the public in their own language even though they had all been born here

Good luck!

But I doubt music would calm those Nazis.
