Hi-Fi Serious

Hi-Fi SeriousHi-Fi Serious is the third studio album by British band A, released in 2002. The album is certified Silver in the U.K., having sold over 60,000 copies. On this album
the A band took that step forward that so many of their contemporaries are afraid to take.

First single, Nothing, made it to No. 9 in the UK singles chart before the album's release. Nothing is arguably the heaviest A single, marking something of a departure from the band's usual melodic pop-punk. Nothing was featured in the soundtrack of the Anime Series Beyblade V-Force.


Something's Going On reached No. 51 in the UK charts and was C listed by BBC Radio One. It was also used to advertise Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4.
