Search - Tiger Mountain :: Get Along Like A House on Fire

Critics? comparisons for Tiger Mountain were flying following the New York foursome?s auspicious 2003 debut, Analog Heads Go French, with the Who, Beatles, Faces and Rolling Stones all said to be lending riffs, phrasing and melodies to its compact sound. For the sophomore effort, the band blasts out of the gate with instrumental influences torn from the pages of Legs McNeil?s punk narrative Please Kill Me, including the musical muscle of the MC5, fluid guitar interplay of Television and slapdash abandon of the New York Dolls. An all-star cast led by the firecracker beat of drummer Aaron Conte (ex-Nada Surf) also includes bassist Dean Rispler (formerly with Murphy?s Law), and twin guitarists/vocalists Tyler Lenane and Mike Jackson, who can uniformly embellish like Bill Janovitz, bark like David Johansen, snarl like Tommy Stinson and harmonize like Dave and Ray Davies. Made loud to be played the same. --Scott Holter
