The Try Hards – A Good Night Out! EP (Misguided Records)
Four songs of manic, fun, melodic punk from this great local band. The tracks on here are well produced and sound good. Sound wise, they invite comparisons to the Circle Jerks, Vandals etc. The lyrics deal with drinking (had a good laugh at the cheeky Against Me! tribute/dig in the line “If pints of Guiness make you strong, here’s another drinking song”), unwanted fights (on the superb “Scrap” complete with Begbie from Trainspotting sample!) and crashing people’s parties. The whole thing rattles past in no time, but you’ll find yourself wanting to play it again.
Demo cost me £2.50 at the last gig I saw them at. No doubt available from band members. They can be contacted at
