Hard-Fi bassist Kai Stephens spoke with Time Off magazine about the band's plans to follow up their debut effort, 'Stars Of CCTV'. "We are feeling the pressure, but we're not scared of it, he scoffed. "We're like 'Come on then!'. We're gonna step up! The next album will be every bit better than this one. There are songs we've been rehearsing and we're confident that we're going to make a better album. We held a few strong songs back." The article at timeoff.com.au has since been removed.
