Tigercub is a Brighton-based trio that has become a pivotal force in the UK's 'new heavy' scene. Formed in the early 2010s, their sound identity is defined by a massive, low-end-heavy guitar tone achieved through unique signal splitting and octave effects, paired with the high-register vocals of frontman Jamie Hall.
Their career arc saw a significant shift with their signing to Loosegroove Records, the label co-founded by Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard, who famously launched Queens of the Stone Age. This connection is musically evident; Tigercub shares the rhythmic swagger of desert rock but infuses it with a British indie sensibility and grunge-era angst. Critically, they are praised for 'As Blue As Indigo,' an album that explored the subjectivity of emotion through color theory. They occupy a space between the raw garage energy of Royal Blood and the experimental depth of Radiohead, making them a favorite for listeners who value technical proficiency alongside visceral, high-decibel impact.
