THE TYGERS OF PAN TANG TODAY RELEASE ‘BEST OF’ ALBUM, MAJORS AND MINORS – OUT ON MIGHTY MUSIC
Today, NWOBHM band The Tygers of Pan Tang put out Majors and Minors – according to the band, it’s not just a ‘Best of’, its more than that. Guitarist Robb Weir states “It’s like your best Tygers tracks, but all in one place!”
The band chose songs on the album which they believed to be classics and to represent the Renaissance of the Tygers boosted by having a Florentine on vocals! Partially written on the road, the tracks not only have killer riffs, balls and power pushing performances to the limit, but express the band’s creativity and musical chemistry for songwriting. Not afraid to even add Spanish Guitars and castanets if a track demands it this band are never boring! Party songs, heavy songs, rock anthems, groovy rock’n’rollers, catchy songs cleverly constructed with accessible melodies, the band has packed all of this in to this meaty package.

The contribution of Chris Tsangarides able to pull the best out of the band was instrumental. The band feel that this “new” period of the band which has in fact lasted longer than the original line up has produced songs which are indispensable to the history of the band. Featuring songs from Tygers albums Ambush, Animal Instinct, the self titled Tygers of Pan Tang and Ritual “It’s been a lot of fun putting this together, so get yourself comfy, press play and let the Tygers do the rockin.” -Robb Weir
The CD version of the compilation includes “Plug Me In”, never released on CD, a new orchestral version of “Spoils of War”, “What You Say” never released in an album format before. Furthermore, a live version of “Keeping Me Alive”, recorded in 2018, graces the vinyl format of “Majors & Minors”.
“Majors & Minors” is out today in digital, LP and CD formats via Mighty Music. “Tygers music is full of big notes and little notes, so let’s start with a Major one and finish with on a Minor!” – Robb Weir
