TYGERS OF PAN TANG: Forthcoming Album Is A 'Cracker'

December 24, 2007

NWOBHM legends TYGERS OF PAN TANG have issued the following update:

"With your support and help, it has been a fabulous last five months for TYGERS OF PAN TANG, your reaction and support of the EP 'Back & Beyond' as well as the atmosphere you have created at the live shows have enabled the management team to really build the profile of the band. You have done so much without been asked it really is appreciated.

"There is a lot still to be concluded in 2007 which include a short tour of Italy in early April, then returning back to the UK for further shows.

"The forthcoming album, 'Animal Instinct', is almost complete and it's a cracker, quality hard rock with TYGERS riffs and hooks. There are some additional guitar parts to put down but we are definately on track for an April 2008 release date. At the moment it will again be an Internet-only release although we have had interest from record companies and distributors but negiotiation is still ongoing and far from complete. Mixing will be carried out again by Ben Matthews of THUNDER who did such a superb job on the EP.

"Pre-orders of 'Animal Instinct' will be made available as from January 2008 on the website and will include 250 special signed and numbered CDs with a few other bits and bobs thrown in to make a real collectors item. Full detail will be on the website from January 10th latest."

TYGERS OF PAN TANG' "Back & Beyond" EP features two brand new songs — "Live For Today" and "Bury The Hatchet" — as well as three reworked classics ("Hellbound", "Take It" and "Rock And Roll Man"). The EP was mixed by Ben Matthews of THUNDER and released through THUNDER's record label.

TYGERS OF PAN TANG's new album, "Animal Instinct", sees the band "go back to their early roots, playing hard-edged rock in the manner of 'Wildcat' and 'Spellbound'," according to a press release.

TYGERS OF PAN TANG's current lineup is:

Robb Weir - Guitar
Dean Robertson - Guitar
Jacopo Meille - Vocals
Brian West - Bass
Craig Ellis - Drums
