Tiger Army have turned hard work and even tragedy (the shooting of drummer Fred Hell in 2003) into triumph with this, their boldest and most compelling work yet.

Tiger Army have turned hard work and even tragedy (the shooting of drummer Fred Hell in 2003) into triumph with the release of 'III: Ghost Tigers Rise' their boldest and most compelling work yet. The music is true to the roots of the psychobilly style that the band has championed since its beginnings, yet at the same time it offers something new.

Subtle new threads emerge in songs like the beautiful "Rose of the Devil's Garden," which hints at the influence of 1980s dark pop à la The Smiths, The Cure and Depeche Mode. "Ghostfire" features a chilling melody and an almost gothic country flavour that alternates with punk intensity. Long-time listeners will find all the signature elements of the Tiger Army sound they've grown to love, along with new musical growth.

The lyrics on III: Ghost Tigers Rise are darker than ever, while possessing a beauty not often found in psychobilly, punk or any other sub genre of rock 'n' roll for that matter - Singer/songwriter/guitarist and producer Nick 13's lyrics seem to have an almost literary bent, but never at the expense of raw, heartfelt emotion. Combine this with meticulously crafted vintage tones mixed with elements of modern recording and you have an album that will attract not only fans of psychobilly, but punk and hardcore, Goth, rockabilly and roots music, country and rock 'n' roll in general.
