Tiger Force

Carried through incomprehensibly hip label Marquis

Cha Cha 'A Wasp In The Jar' punches from the first

blast of their eponymous 'Anthem'. They do not

relent from this point forwards: eight tracks

collide in your ears with shockwaves of fuzzy jolted

indie and screwed up art rock. Zapping synths and

snappy shared vocals give clap-happy 'Beat This' the

kind of sound which would result from a fight

between The Sugarcubes and Lush, with something of

1992 era Rough Trade in 'Five Six I Got Sticks'.

Undeniably of its time û you can reference The

Gossip throughout û nevertheless the bouncing

shouted choruses of 'Hey Yo Square Eyes' and melodic

crunch of 'Super Lo Fi Stutter Happy Panic Song'

have a frank freshness which should have you buzzing

without much resistance. As a comedown closing track

'Your Music Sucks' is Lily Allen style cutesy indie

which could well be a contender for best rhyming

couplet of the year: "I had so many plans but I

cheated in my exams."

There was also a band called Tiger Force from Denmark playing Iron Maiden inspired heavy metal in the mid 80s. Only released a 5 song demo. Not much is known about this band.
