info

Tygers Of Pan Tang were one of the classic NWOBHM bands, with their first two albums (the raw, simplistic but effective Wild Cat and the more polished Spellbound) being two of the better albums of the era. Spellbound is also notable for including a young John Sykes on guitar, who would later go on to fame and fortune with Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, and Blue Murder. The band's decision to move to a more mainstream, pop-metal sound on their subsequent releases was in retrospect a questionable move, as fans of the early material were turned off and the anticipated new audience never really materialized. Amidst lineup changes and poor reviews, the band finally called it a day after the release of Burning In The Shade in 1987.

Around 2000 guitarist Robb Weir began the process of putting a new version of Tygers back together. The following year two live albums were released, one documenting a 1981 live show and the other featuring the band at the Wacken festival in 1999, which was a reunion gig where Weir and vocalist Jess Cox got together and were backed by several members of Blitzkrieg. Since then two studio albums and another live album have been released, the most recent being Noises In The Cathouse.
