Dirty Pretty Things Return With “Tired Of England” Single

Dirty Pretty Things (pictured above by the Thames River in a photo by Roger Sargent) are back, with their new single, “Tired of England,” due to be released on June 23rd in the UK. (Dirty Pretty Things’ new album, Romance At Short Notice, follows on June 30th in the UK.)

“Tired of England” is a catchy piece of power-pop, sounding like a combination of The Smiths circa 1984 and The Kinks around the time of their stellar Face To Face album. “Tired of England” is less heavy than most of the material on Dirty Pretty Things’ 2006 debut, Waterloo To Anywhere.

Dirty Pretty Things (which feature ex-Libertine Carl Barat on guitar and vocals, fellow ex-Libertine Gary Powell on drums, Didz Hammond on bass, and Anthony Rossomando on guitar) will be playing some of the big outdoor music festivals in the UK this summer. They will be appearing at the O2 Wireless Festival in London’s Hyde Park on July 4th, the Reading Festival on August 23rd, and the Leeds Festival on August 24th.
