New Tygers of Pan Tang

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.
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.

Here is a sample...

Really like the Speed sample. Sounds great. Their 'comeback' album from '08 was pretty darned good, so I'll be picking this one up without question.

Oh..and the cover art IS fantastic!

Played Speed last week on my show!

Sure, but their best material is on their first 3 albums- Wild Cat (1980), Spellbound (1981) and Crazy Nights (1981).

I take it Sykes isn't playing with them anymore?  Wasn't he the star of the band?

The new stuff sounds cool though. How many original members left?

Good God that smokes!

Sykes hasn't played with them since 1982. The only original member is guitarist Robb Weir.

checking those right now.

I'm gonna have to pull this CD out and give it another spin. I quite liked it and it was stuck in my CD player for weeks when I first received it.

Sykes was never the star of Tygers. In fact, he wasn't even an original member. He just achieved a lot of success thanks to Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake. Robb Weir is the original guitar player for the band and their main songwriter.

Get Spellbound first, no doubts about that.

I have a greatest hits comp of their's and it's great. I'd really like to check into them much deeper.
