What music needs right now!
ASBO Magazine
This is truly a snappy and clever and infectious little EP that made such a memorable impression. Its one of those ones where you listen and think – get me to England, I need to see this band!
Nina Cocoran, Punk This Week / Pitchfork.
Their sound? Imagine XTC’s wit colliding with Gang of Four’s urgency, Orange Juice’s bounce, and The Pale Fountains’ romance. Yet it’s their live shows – infectious, kinetic, communal – that crystallise their magic. Audiences don’t just watch; they join. Loyal followers (a tribe as eclectic as the band’s record collections) dance like no one’s judging, shout lyrics like prayers and remind Tigers & Flies that their music isn’t just heard, it’s felt.
Matt Lockett, Violette Records
Tigers and Flies are the new noise in Manchester. […] They have reimagined the classic era on their own terms with a Smiths meets XTC very British quirk on dripping glorious melody.
John Robb, Louder Than War
Something fresh in pop music… it boils, it backfires and it overflows.
