Tigercub. are a three-piece band from Brighton whose dynamic (soft to hard, quiet to loud) grunge rock recalls Mansun more than it does Nirvana, something to do with singer Jamie Hall’s keening croon, the tone of which is similar to Paul Draper’s. It is a voice dripping with feeling, but also ideas. Repressed Semantics, their latest EP, features a burning bin and the phrase, “Something that you can do today, dispose,” in German on the sleeve, which has an air of situationist slogan. Preorders, meanwhile, come with a zine. Tigercub create a self-contained world for you to discover and get lost in “as a refuge for anyone who feels a bit fucked over by the current state of affairs”, says Hall, who was somewhat stung by the results of the 2015 general election and fully intends to vent his frustration on their tour. “There’s a lot of things I want to get across,” he says. “I want to try and create an ideology, something that people can really get behind, rather than just writing fucking pop songs.
