fuckinamazingwow...предупреждения от самих музыкантов:
-Don’t press play before checking your volume levels,
Tiger Force are likely to blow out your windows.
-it's not just noise.+ еще пару
статей Rock Sound: "Tiger Force are Phenomenal. .. It's intense, but
addictively so: once these buttons have been pressed you'll be eager
for more. 'A Wasp In A Jar' is a powerful introduction to a band with
enormous visceral talent." 8/10 Rock Sound magazine.
"Within
these eight tracks is as sound that's big enough to ignite any party.
Layered with equal lashings of filth and melody, this is a winning
collection from a special band." Puregroove.
"It's
a veritable avalanche of energy and imagination. Any one of these songs
on a compilation of the band's peers would draw attention." Maps Magazine
NME said:
"Tiger
Force - bringing the DIY ethic. Recorded for less than the price of a
couple of his'n'hers trilbies, their debut mini-LP fizzes like a tumble
drier full of cola. Tooth-dissolvingly sweet Gameboy bleeps and DJ
Shadow-esque swooshes swathe the guitar onslaught like a Manga-designed
cape around Jack White. ..this is a promising debut with big, sharp,
flashing neon teeth."
"Tiger Force are an amazing band and we don't think nearly enough people know it." nwlx
"It's
executed with an unjaded conviction that works in its favour, and with
a few choruses thrown in for good measure i'm finding it surprisingly
likable." 8/10 Vice magazine
Plan B said something nice but i cant remember what.
Nice album review at Drowned in Sound- www.drownedinsound.com/release/view/9505
PLAYLOUDER:
"Their
caffeine-fuelled, stuttering beats, abrasive riffs and repetitive
bawling translate admirably to CD, which is rather surprising. Shouting
such philosophical necessities as, "Don't bee the saym as everywon
else", and, "Burn down the office", and, "I don't like
t-t-t-telephones", I can't help but admit that this is a band that
speaks directly to me as a person: they really get under the skin of
the modern condition."
"Carried through incomprehensibly
hip label Marquis Cha Cha 'A Wasp In The Jar' punches from the first
blast of their eponymous 'Anthem'. They do not relent from this point
forwards: eight tracks collide in your ears with shockwaves of fuzzy
jolted indie and screwed up art rock. Zapping synths and snappy shared
vocals give clap-happy 'Beat This' the kind of sound which would result
from a fight between The Sugarcubes and Lush, with something of 1992
era Rough Trade in 'Five Six I Got Sticks'.
Undeniably of its time,
nevertheless the bouncing shouted choruses of 'Hey Yo Square Eyes' and
melodic crunch of 'Super Lo Fi Stutter Happy Panic Song' have a frank
freshness which should have you buzzing without much resistance. As a
comedown closing track 'Your Music Sucks' is Lily Allen style cutesy
indie which could well be a contender for best rhyming couplet of the
year."

Body: Tiger Force – "Wasp In A Jar" (Marquis Cha Cha)
Tiger
Force have been on active service on the peripheries of the mainstream
for the past 18-months or so – hiding up in the mountains that surround
chart-land – carrying out the odd covert action – studiously avoiding
being roped into anything vaguely resembling a scene:
Andy Force: "We are not Nu-Rave, we don't like being labelled 'trendy' & don't think we are"
Taking
inspiration from such diverse sources as Sonic Youth & old school
hip-hop may seem a tad confused to some casual observers, but Tiger
Force's particular blend of block-rocking beats from a broken social
drum machine, twin-guitar attack & feisty boy/girl/duo/shouting
vocal assault is as engaging as it is improbable. Add a confessed love
of the Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy & the above-mentioned hatred
of Nu-Rave - & you're just about there.
"Wasp In A Jar" has
taken the best part of the last year to assemble – garnered, as it was,
from various sessions at various locations across our bustling capital:
Opening
with the Commodore 64 inspired "Tiger Force Anthem" –
T-I-G-E-R-F-O-R-C-E – a pummelling skank fuelled by hardcore beats
& shards of decaying guitar, the template Tiger Force Sound is
established. "Beat This" keeps the energy & the tempo high: the
guitars clash, the beats box clever, leaving the opposition with a
bloody nose, cowering in their corner with their nervous trainer.
"Syntax Error", you'll know already – unless you've been dead for the
last 6-months, that is – as the place where both sides of Tiger Force
meet in the middle: hard as nails on the outside - but soft & sweet
in the dusky, darkened corners. "Five Six I Got Sticks" applies further
tempo pressure, opening the window for my favourite song on the LP,
"Hey Yo Square Eyes" (it's the riff: genius!). "Send In The Evolution"
offers a glimpse of one possible future direction for Tiger Force -
whilst "Super Lo-Fi Sutter Happy Panic Song" returns to full-on attack
mode – leaving closer, "Your Music Sucks, to really put the cat amongst
the pigeons (are you feeling threatened yet, Lilly?).
In many
ways, "Wasp In A Jar" represents closure: the end of Phase One of Tiger
Force - & the promise of new directions home to come:
Until
then, "A Wasp In A Jar" will keep you amused & entertained in equal
measure – until a truce is declared - & Tiger Force come down from
the mountains to take up their rightful place in the badger parade! (острожно английский!)
