Ever since getting together in 2001, The Fatal Mistake have, through their non-stop gigging up and down the country, been challenging the American pop-punk invasion head on. Hailing from the town that gave the world bands such as Contempt, Cancer and Assert, The Fatal Mistake combine the dark nature of bands such as Alkaline Trio with the pop-punk melodies of New Found Glory and The Movielife to produce infectiously dark melodies through which to sing their words of frustration and heartache. The band hooked up with Gavin Monaghan (The Editors, The Wildhearts, The Smiths, Mercury Rev, Idlewild, Carina Round, Miss Black America, Jesus and The Mary Chain, The Clash etc) to record both a couple of demo CDs and then their debut album. Released in 2004, 'Die Trying' received positive press on fronts and garned coverage in magazines such as Rock Sound, Kerrang, Big Cheese and Drowned in Sound. The band also completed a hectic gig schedule support bands such as Captain Everything, B*Movie Heroes, Malibu Stacy, Route 215, Solabeat Alliance, My Deaf Audio, Happylife, 4ft Fingers, Fireapple Red and Stuntface, the band were also selected by Kerrang to take part in the 2003 K-Fest Club Tour alongside Danko Jones, Electric Eel Shock, The Suffrajets and Apartment 26. The band's good reception wasn't limited to the shores the UK. With the help of fans in Australia Die Trying got picked up and released by Modern Music and received favourable reviews too in the country's press. In 2006, whilst trying to record the 'difficult' second album the band split.
