TIGERCUB - Destroy/You 7"

TIGERCUB are a trio from Brighton who look like from Seattle, birthplace of grunge, style they offer since the publication of 'Blue Blood' and 'Centrefold', their first two singles...being this last one released via Blood Red Shoes' label Jazz Life.

Now, thanks to Too Pure Singles Club and Cannibal Hymns, they will release their first 7", made up of 'Destroy' and 'You', the first one with a wall of metal sound wrapping the pure grunge founded in both of them, which is coming out of Jamie Hall's microphone bringing to mind Kurt Cobain...and thus Nirvana.

Hall also is responsible for playing the guitar while James Alexander is playing drums and James Wheelwright bass. Also 'Destroy' reminds of Royal Blood, but with a less powerful than their city colleagues. Its raw sound is combined with this mental dysfunction which forces their minds to the chaos, where everything is wrong and don't invite to remember 'You', this special person who had meant happiness and without that person...there is nothing more.

BIRDSKULLS

Nowadays, Kurt Cobain is on everyone's lips, consequently Nirvana and the grunge music. BIRDSKULLS love them, and maybe for this reason they are also three. What is clear is that their music has a lot of features from the Aberdeem's band since 2 years, time they uploaded the first version of 'Ghost World', which will  be included in their debut album "Trickle", out 5th October via Dog Knights Productions, but with a new facelift, it means, without the lo-fi bedroom sound, as the other songs they recorded during this time.

Nowadays, the last song named together with 'Sever' shows a pure grunge sound, with heavier instrumentation and less desperate off-key vocals, reaching the depressing situations, accord with their lyrics. But Jack, Rory and Sam go one step further sounding like Nai Harvest with the Joanna Gruesome powerful in 'Good Enough', the first single brought to light together with the amazing cover of the album.
