...according to our Ant on 22 May 2008.

I swear I head 'Hexagon' by Tired Irie and it sounded like a totally different song.... It's like a stuttering heavy pop track trying to break out of the backing of off kilter drums. Some swirling synthesizer action fills out the sound... The drums are really good, actually pretty heavy on the snare and crunchy sounding. 'Stratellites' is like a shiny electro pop tune with vox somewhere between Phil Oakey and Simon Le Bon and some space age synth action, very 80's sounding but in a good way.. Definitely an intriguing single. Cd single on Try Harder.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
