Marking 10 years since their last release, Camden heroes TRIBES return with stadium-ready anthem ‘Hard Pill’, via Downtown Music.
Oozing with charm, ‘Hard Pill’ – which premiered on Steve Lamacq’s BBC Radio 6Music show — pairs the frantic grit of jangly desert-style guitar with huge drums to create a statement return for the old fan and new. The new single displays a TRIBES with a brand new lease of life, still with that signature, bright TRIBES allure.
On the new single, singer Johnny Lloyd said: “The song landed without warning or invitation the day after we met back up and kickstarted a whole new era of the band. The song is about broken relationships, healing and coming back together.”
The release comes straight off the back of a monumental sold-out homecoming show at Dublin Castle, London last night. TRIBES are set for many more gigs this year, with a headline slot lined up at The Key Club, Leeds on 18th April, and a recently announced support slot with DMAs at London’s Wembley Arena, Glasgow’s O2 Academy and Manchester’s O2 Apollo – PURCHASE TICKETS HERE.
Since their sophomore album release in 2013’s hard-hitting ‘Wish To Scream’, TRIBES have been flying low, working on their own esteemed solo careers and projects. Following a choice encounter between two of the members in a cosy Dorset pub in 2020, reflections of the good ol’ days came into conversation and the idea of coming back with a new lease of life, was too irresistible to miss.
