Tiger is tagged as: reggae, dancehall, 90s, alternative, tiger There have been multiple acts named Tiger, including a late 80s/early 90s reggae dancehall DJ, a 90s indie/Britpop band, a hardcore punk band, a Japanese female vocalist and a Trinidadian calypso singer popular in the 1930s. Yuh Dead Now, Cool Me Down and No Wanga Gut are tracks by the former. He was known for his original ‘growling’ style of chatting and was popular on the sound system Blackstar and many stageshows in Jamaica, before a motorcycle accident cut his aspiring career short in 1994, sparing his life but not his vocal chords. The indie/Britpop Tiger recorded songs such as Friends, My Puppet Pal, Race and Shining In The Wood, all heavily played by Mark Radcliffe circa 1996. The band also sported mullets, skinny jeans and metal t-shirts - a look much derided at the time but adopted a few years later by East London hipsters. The hardcore Tiger, formed in 2006 in Traverse City, are set to release an album on Truth & Justice Records.|... Read More About Tiger Biography... ![]() ![]() |
