TIGERS JAW WAS FORMED IN 2005 BY BEN WALSH AND ADAM MCILWEE.
Characterized by unconventionally catchy songs, weaving harmonies, and
timelessly relatable lyricism, the band has been organically
increasing its fanbase over a decade-plus of touring and releasing
music. Walsh & McIlwee recorded Belongs To The Dead in 2006 using a
cassette deck and cheap microphones in McIlwee’s garage, drawing
heavy influence from The Microphones. Around this time, the duo was
also self-recording I’m On Your Side, the “lost TIGERS JAW LP”
which contained early versions of TIGERS JAW SONGS. Soon after, TIGERS
JAW LINKED UP WITH RUN FOR COVER RECORDS TO RE-release the Self-Titled
album (originally released on CD by Scranton’s Prison Jazz Records),
as well as Two Worlds(2010), Charmer(2014), and other EPs. Following a
lineup change in 2013, TIGERS JAW BEGAN TOURING FULL-time. Walsh and
longtime member Brianna Collins took some time off in 2016 to write
songs for a new album. spin was released in 2017 on producer Will
Yip’s Black Cement Records. TIGERS JAW’s first major label release
was praised by critics and cemented the band as a songwriting force,
satiating longtime fans and gripping new listeners. Aptly described as
the middle ground between Fleetwood Mac and Saves the Day, TIGERS JAW
HAVE MANAGED TO PROGRESS AND EVOLVE WHILE PRESERVING THE SPIRIT OF
THEIR MODEST ORIGINS IN THE SCRAPPY DIY SCRANTON PUNK SCENE.Tigers Jaw
Forever.
