I would imagine they're signed to Atlantic in the U.S. to cover territories outside of Europe as Necessary are only a small UK independent and probably don't have the resources to do it themselves.
are we done here now?

Um, no, we are not.
They are with Warner for the UK as well. It is on their UK album covers/sleeves. I unfortunately bought Once Upon A Time In The West. So no, they are major label in the UK as well as everywhere else. And Necessary Records are a nothing company who could accomplish nothing in the United Kingdom either. Far as I know they have no more than like 3 or 4 bands on the whole label. They couldn't even handle large scale distribution in an area as small as Wales. Hard-Fi are on the Warner payroll and have been for years - Necessary Records is so smalltime and minor it might as well not exist. Calling Hard-Fi an indie band is special pleading whatever way one wants to look at it, not least for the fact that they themselves explicitly categorize themselves as major.
Go buy the CD itself if you want hard proof.
