A are a British alternative rock band from Suffolk, England, which formed in 1993. They have released 4 studio and 2 live albums, including their debut How Ace Are Buildingsand the UK top 20 album Hi-Fi Serious. Single releases have also achieved chart success, with one UK top 10, four UK top 40 and seven UK top 100 singles.
Shortly after releasing their fourth album, Teen Dance Ordinance, in 2005, the band briefly split. In 2007 ‘A’ reunited for a one-off gig, and have been touring sporadically ever since including playing the main stage at Download Pilot on June 19, 2021. They have not released any further albums since 2005.
Hi-Fi Serious is the third studio album by British alternative rock band A, released in 2002.
The name “Hi-Fi Serious” was derived from that of a fictional electronics store, from which Alan Partridge purchased a Bang & Olufsen stereo system in the final episode of the first series of British sitcom, I’m Alan Partridge. The tour in support of the album’s release was named the “Inner City Sumo Tour” – another nod to Partridge, this time referencing a line in the show’s very first episode.
