L.A. band Tiger Army bridge classic rock and roll to the times of now with their new single 'Prisoner of the Night', taken from their upcoming album 'V •••– '. Drawing inspiration from the American rock sound of the late 50's to early 60s, the track is currently out now via Rise Records.
Regarding 'Prisoner of the Night', lead vocalist Nick 13 wrote:
"Our sound has always been about a mix of old and new. But this song, like others on the new record, draws from the early ‘60s. It was a transitional period after the end of rock 'n' roll's first wave, but prior to the British invasion. There was a lot of sonic experimentation as people tried to figure out 'what's next'? Radio singles of that era also went on to influence early NYC punk, so 'Prisoner' plays with that as well."
There is practically nothing that singer and songwriter Lea Lea can't do musically. From soul to reggae to electronica, the East London-raised artist has demonstrated a versatility that ranks beyond the mark, with a voice that commands the listener like a queen speaking to a nation. When she announced that her latest work would be more rock-oriented, our first reactions were, "that makes sense". This new sound has manifested in her new 'Die Pretty Vol. 1' EP. Produced by Jack Baker, the four-song record is a sonic feast of alternative, post-punk, pop and even a dash of surf rock. Unlike many acts who tend to fall short of the mark with genre experimenting, Lea Lea, whose claims to fame also include songwriting for big acts, has appropriately used the music as a matching palette for the content. The fact is, Lea Lea understands her power as a vocalist and 'Die Pretty Vol. 1' is the gun powder in the weapon.
