If at first you don't succeed; Try Harder
crablin by Colin Roberts November 17th, 2005

A rather spiffing new label is entering the throes of indie magnificence. Sim, Simon and Al (yes, of Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies fame) are proudly announcing their brand new label and hitting you with the wicked debut 7" from Leicester boys Tired Irie.

'Like. Gentle. Men.' is released on November 28th (review here soon!) following Steve Lamacq-based radio love, with a White Heat club night the day after to launch the crazy beast (and BOYO what a line-up):

Tuesday November 29th, White Heat at Madame Jojo's, Soho, London
Tired Irie
Dartz!
Foals

Tired Irie are like a glorious mix of Q and not U, Shipping News and some math-pop dream. Dartz! are one of DiS' highlights of this year's In the City conference, with spazzy disco fun and a masked saxohphonist. Foals recently gave DiS a sneak preview of their efforts and to say the least, we were stunned; two ex-Edmund Fitzgerald members, Andrew of YMSS fame and more. Be excited.

Article continues below

Visit the Try Harder myspace for more information and news of the forthcoming Blood Red Shoes 7", a Foals single and the 2CD ultra-exciting Edmund Fitzgerald 'Collected Works'.
