tygers mention

[Robert C. Mayo]

real quick:
tygers etc were one of the first/best nwobhm bands. their debut was a real
punk-influenced, street-level workout (sure, with guitar solos); but man,
could their singer NOT sing. this actually added to the punter-friendly punk
rock vibe. he left after the debut lp and you're right, glam-ballads and
cover versions ensued. and john sykes.
anyway, the debut is one of the highpoints of that blip on the metal map: the
nwobhm.
they say they got their name from a squadron of fighter planes in wwii.
knowing nothing of moorcock other than the boc trilogy and some of the hw
stuff, i can't connect them.
