New Single – Vanilla Circus
Release 28th June
Review by Linda McDermott
West Midland rockers White Tyger have been around for over eight years, starting out as a covers band playing classic rock songs by artists such as AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica and Motley Crue and getting a great reception for doing just that. Gradually they have replaced covers with their own material that has seen them go from strength to strength, gathering more fans for their great rock tunes.
They released their debut album ‘This is the Life’ in July 2022, which is a cracking rock album. The songs are a mix of sleaze and heavy rock songs with an 80’s and 90’s feel about them, which is understandable, with influences coming from bands they covered in the early days.
The band are:
Nip Turner – Vocals & Guitar
Chris Hingley – Guitar & Backing Vocals
Stephan Timmins – Bass & Backing Vocals
Jack Ryland-Smith – Drums
Their latest release, ‘Vanilla Circus’ is lyrically about being ‘In a pushy world, where society follows the crowd; it gets stuck in life’s rat race and there is less and less
time to have fun and do what people truly want to do to live a fulfilling, happy life. White Tygër say NO! to all that, we refuse to join the Vanilla Circus’.
With that said, the song crashes into action with a fast-paced unyielding force from the first note. Chris puts his guitar through its paces and delivers some amazing relentless riffs that are intense and face melting! Stephen and Jack give the song its depth and rhythmic drive while Nip is in full flow with the vocals adding another level to this energetic track. The song only comes up for a gulp of air at the choruses before diving back into its next onslaught. White Tyger have fun doing what they do and that comes across in their music, their infectious energy and spirit draw you in to their vibrant, feel-good rock music.
Throughout their career White Tygër have gigged relentlessly around the Midlands and beyond, selling out some of the larger more established venues multiple times.
They even won my award for the hardest working band at Hard Rock Hell’s AOR Weekend where they played four times, including filling in for a band that couldn’t make it. The band are currently writing their second album, and booking up shows for 2025
So, if you like your rock music relentless with a sleazy slice on the side give these guys a listen, you’ll love them. They continue to work hard with lots of dates in the
diary for the rest of the year so why not get yourself along to one of their high-octane dates and join them in a fun night.
