4. Skipteque
Debut EP released by Try Harder Records.
Limited to 1000 copies...
Don't believe the hype:
"Gleaming stratospheric pop from the label that brought you Foals and Blood Red Shoes. Take Heed"
NME
"This is the first band at least recently, if not ever, to successfully combine serious electro funk disco with an eerily contagious indie rock sensibility. Mindblowing material from the Leicester quartet."
MANCHESTERMUSIC
"The four tracks that make up this self-titled EP are immediate of accessibility and utterly in tune with the current fondness for splintered rhythms and guitar lines that wobble rather than ripple; these instruments aren’t attacked, they’re caressed, and much like recent singles from Foals, Friendly Fires and Late Of The Pier, the material on show here is, you feel, just the beginning of a fantastic catalogue. Pigeonhole the four together at your peril, but there’s no doubt these bands represent something truly exciting in the British independent rock scene, something that’s set to explode in 2008."

'Post-punk rhythms layered with powerful harmonies etched with guitars riffs and bass lines that pump through your heart like a big wheel generator. There’s a profound statement in there somewhere, I’m sure of it. Fuck listening to it, I was off dancing!
ARTROCKER

'Somewhere between the disco death marches of Interpol and the psychedelic incarnation of q and not u, these fraught songs possess an uplifting and intangible quality coupled with an unnerving eerie intensity."
ROUGH TRADE

"Tired Irie are like a cross between Q + Not U, Shipping News & some math-pop dream!"
