Tigercub: Momentum
Tigercub don’t compromise. They don’t bend. Their confident debut album ‘Abstract Figures In The Dark’ is jagged and harsh. It is a pill that isn’t easily swallowed, nor properly digested, at least not for the band themselves. It is emotionally overwhelming, and entirely self-aware. It doesn’t fit neatly into a box on the shelf marked “punk” or “grunge”.
Recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Alex Newport (At The Drive In, Death Cab for Cutie, Melvins, Pissed Jeans) at Brighton Electric Studios and mastered by John Greenham (Death Grips, Weaves), the highly anticipated debut album follows Tigercub’s widely acclaimed EP, Repressed Semantics. The much-loved EP was released via VENN Records last year, and lead track, ‘Pictures Of You,’ saw praise from the likes of Annie Mac and Daniel P. Carter on their respective BBC Radio 1 shows, as well as Radio X, Amazing Radio, The Guardian, NME, Crack, DIY and more.
After spending their formative years touring, fine-tuning their now renowned raucous live show and sharing the bill with acts such as Dilly Dally, Royal Blood, Vant, Dinosaur Pile Up and Pulled Apart By Horses. The band have nearly performed in every tour-able city the United Kingdom has to offer. January 2017 will see Tigercub perform alongside The Fall, Hookworms and Kagoule, with plenty of exciting announcements to follow.
