The influential & legendary British hard rock band Tygers Of Pan Tang are set to release a brand new album "Ambush" on 24th September, celebrating a landmark year in the band's history.
"Ambush" features 11 tracks of handsomely crafted melodic rock, recorded & produced by Chris Tsangarides who produced the band's historic "Wildcat" & "Spellbound" albums in 1980 & 1981 respectively.
Those early albums were critically acclaimed & similarly revered by fans, as was the Tygers' most recent album "Animal Instinct" which received this praise from reputed writer Geoff Barton in his 8/10 review in Classic Rock "a pedigree album, combining the rough 'n' readiness of the early "Wild Cat"-era of the band with the glossy approach when they had John Sykes on guitar... if I was thinking of buying "Good To Be Bad" (Whitesnake), "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge" (Def Leppard) or "Animal Instinct" & I only had enough money for one CD, I might just plump for this one"...
With a truly impressive piece of coverart by Rodney Matthews who originally worked with the band on the iconic "Crazy Nights" album cover & with audio mastering by Ian Cooper ("Wild Cat" & "Spellbound" albums), some 3 decades on the Tygers have assembled a team which understands & lives up to their heritage.
