Only Heavy Metal

On May 28th 2021 Tygers of Pan Tang will release [worldwide] their album ‘Majors and Minors’ which continues the band’s legacy with a fine selection of songs that were written and recorded over the last eight years. Not just a ‘Best of’ compilation because the band wanted to offer something special to both loyal fans, collectors and those who have missed our latest records. “It’s like your best Tygers tracks, but all in one place!”- Robb Weir.

And once again the stunning artwork will make the products and merchandise associated with the album things of beauty to behold.
The band chose songs on the album which they believed to be classics and to represent the Renaissance of the Tygers boosted by having a Florentine on vocals! Partially written on the road, the tracks not only have killer riffs, balls and power pushing performances to the limit, but express the band’s creativity and musical chemistry for songwriting. Not afraid to even add Spanish Guitars and castanets if a track demands it this band are never boring!

Party songs, heavy songs, Rock anthems, groovy Rock n Rollers, catchy songs cleverly constructed with accessible melodies, the band has packed all of this in to this meaty package. The contribution of Chris Tsangarides able to pull the best out of the band was instrumental. The band feel that this ‘new’ period of the band which has in fact lasted longer than the original line up has produced songs which are indispensable to the history of the band. “It’s been a lot of fun putting this together, so get yourself comfy, press play and let the Tygers do the rockin.” -Robb Weir

The compilation includes ‘Plug Me In’ never released on CD, a new orchestral version of ‘Spoils of War’, ‘What You Say’ never released in an album format before and a live version of ‘Keeping Me Alive’ recorded in 2018.
Known for their incendiary hit version of ‘Love Potion no.9’ from ‘The Cage’ album in 1982 which sold over 200,000 copies and gave the band two top 50 songs in the UK Tygers remain a much loved hard rock band with their NWOBHM legacy and many loyal fans.

After an amazing ten years together, Gav has made the decision to leave the Tygers. Gav has been an integral part of the band throughout and his contribution, both live and as a songwriter/arranger cannot be overestimated. It is a difficult announcement to make and will be upsetting news for many but we are fully supportive of Gav in his future musical endeavours.
After 10 years as the bass player with Tygers Of Pan Tang, I have made the tough decision to leave the band...

It`s a decision that has been by far one of the hardest ones I`ve had to make but over the past year I have realised that it is time for me to step down. I have not been happy for a while now and don`t want to hold the guys back in the way they want to go forward.
This is purely a personal reason so I`m not going to go on about musical differences, direction choices, new beginnings or any other issues.
I`m proud of what I have achieved with the band, the records I`ve made, the places I`ve played, the friends I`ve made and the memories that will stay with me forever. Being an integral part of the new rise of the Tygers current popularity was a pleasure.
I would like to wish my bandmates every success for the future and thank the fans that have shown me such amazing gratitude throughout.
Keep rocking and keep supporting your favourite bands...
Love and Peace, Gav

The Tygers are delighted to tell you that Huw Holding will be their new bass player. Huw has played with a number of bands, notably Holosade and Blitzkrieg. He commented "It is such a great honour to play for a band that I stood and worshipped as a kid, all those years back…' Huw's debut with the band will be in October. More details of that next week. The band are exceptionally grateful to all of those who put the time in to send an audition tape. The standard proved to be very high.

Francesco and Jack are beyond excited to tell you that the new 4 track CD featuring two new songs and two re-recordings of Wild Cat tracks is available now in the Tygers webstore. So get on over there and bag yourself a copy.
Our first review is er … 10/10!
“A New Heartbeat” is up to be a new favorite for the band’s fans, because it’s filled with excellent hooking melodies, an easy to memorize chorus, and tons of a massive Old School weight (the guitar riffs and solos are great, weaving excellent melodic themes)”
