Also on board are fave local mavens TIGER BOMB whose 3rd LP is also expected to be dropped later this year! Tiger Bomb will fill the dance floor with their high energy "tuff-bubblegum" sounds. These four fab femmes rock hard, but make no mistake, Tiger Bomb knows their way around a good pop song full of catchy hooks & harmonies. Their all-original songs have a deep rich filling, coated with powerful guitars, melodic bass lines and driving drums, for a tasty thrill-packed dancing & listening experience with some of the most playable sounds around today! "The Rock & Roll veterans of garage-pop band Tiger Bomb are the coolest female rockers here in Portland, featuring a big, bold and British sound, like the Who. With a retro visual aesthetic, Tiger Bomb is a true gem of our scene, regularly performing across New England." -WMPG https://www.facebook.com/tigerbombband https://www.youtube.com/@tigerbomb2640 https://tigerbomb2.bandcamp.com
