Rock Sound: "Tiger Force are Phenomenal. .. It's intense, but addictively so: once these buttons have been pressed you'll be eager for more. 'A Wasp In A Jar' is a powerful introduction to a band with enormous visceral talent." 8/10 Rock Sound magazine.

"Within these eight tracks is as sound that's big enough to ignite any party. Layered with equal lashings of filth and melody, this is a winning collection from a special band." Puregroove.

"It's a veritable avalanche of energy and imagination. Any one of these songs on a compilation of the band's peers would draw attention." Maps Magazine



NME said:
"Tiger Force - bringing the DIY ethic. Recorded for less than the price of a couple of his'n'hers trilbies, their debut mini-LP fizzes like a tumble drier full of cola. Tooth-dissolvingly sweet Gameboy bleeps and DJ Shadow-esque swooshes swathe the guitar onslaught like a Manga-designed cape around Jack White. ..this is a promising debut with big, sharp, flashing neon teeth."

"Tiger Force are an amazing band and we don't think nearly enough people know it." nwlx


"It's executed with an unjaded conviction that works in its favour, and with a few choruses thrown in for good measure i'm finding it surprisingly likable." 8/10 Vice magazine


Plan B said something nice but i cant remember what.


Nice album review at Drowned in Sound- http://www.drownedinsound.com/release/view/9505


PLAYLOUDER:
"Their caffeine-fuelled, stuttering beats, abrasive riffs and repetitive bawling translate admirably to CD, which is rather surprising. Shouting such philosophical necessities as, "Don't bee the saym as everywon else", and, "Burn down the office", and, "I don't like t-t-t-telephones", I can't help but admit that this is a band that speaks directly to me as a person: they really get under the skin of the modern condition."



"Carried through incomprehensibly hip label Marquis Cha Cha 'A Wasp In The Jar' punches from the first blast of their eponymous 'Anthem'. They do not relent from this point forwards: eight tracks collide in your ears with shockwaves of fuzzy jolted indie and screwed up art rock. Zapping synths and snappy shared vocals give clap-happy 'Beat This' the kind of sound which would result from a fight between The Sugarcubes and Lush, with something of 1992 era Rough Trade in 'Five Six I Got Sticks'.
Undeniably of its time, nevertheless the bouncing shouted choruses of 'Hey Yo Square Eyes' and melodic crunch of 'Super Lo Fi Stutter Happy Panic Song' have a frank freshness which should have you buzzing without much resistance. As a comedown closing track 'Your Music Sucks' is Lily Allen style cutesy indie which could well be a contender for best rhyming couplet of the year."

and This From trakMARX 29
Body: Tiger Force – "Wasp In A Jar" (Marquis Cha Cha)

Tiger Force have been on active service on the peripheries of the mainstream for the past 18-months or so – hiding up in the mountains that surround chart-land – carrying out the odd covert action – studiously avoiding being roped into anything vaguely resembling a scene:

Andy Force: "We are not Nu-Rave, we don't like being labelled 'trendy' & don't think we are"

Taking inspiration from such diverse sources as Sonic Youth & old school hip-hop may seem a tad confused to some casual observers, but Tiger Force's particular blend of block-rocking beats from a broken social drum machine, twin-guitar attack & feisty boy/girl/duo/shouting vocal assault is as engaging as it is improbable. Add a confessed love of the Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy & the above-mentioned hatred of Nu-Rave - & you're just about there.

"Wasp In A Jar" has taken the best part of the last year to assemble – garnered, as it was, from various sessions at various locations across our bustling capital:
Opening with the Commodore 64 inspired "Tiger Force Anthem" – T-I-G-E-R-F-O-R-C-E – a pummelling skank fuelled by hardcore beats & shards of decaying guitar, the template Tiger Force Sound is established. "Beat This" keeps the energy & the tempo high: the guitars clash, the beats box clever, leaving the opposition with a bloody nose, cowering in their corner with their nervous trainer. "Syntax Error", you'll know already – unless you've been dead for the last 6-months, that is – as the place where both sides of Tiger Force meet in the middle: hard as nails on the outside - but soft & sweet in the dusky, darkened corners. "Five Six I Got Sticks" applies further tempo pressure, opening the window for my favourite song on the LP, "Hey Yo Square Eyes" (it's the riff: genius!). "Send In The Evolution" offers a glimpse of one possible future direction for Tiger Force - whilst "Super Lo-Fi Sutter Happy Panic Song" returns to full-on attack mode – leaving closer, "Your Music Sucks, to really put the cat amongst the pigeons (are you feeling threatened yet, Lilly?).

In many ways, "Wasp In A Jar" represents closure: the end of Phase One of Tiger Force - & the promise of new directions home to come:
Until then, "A Wasp In A Jar" will keep you amused & entertained in equal measure – until a truce is declared - & Tiger Force come down from the mountains to take up their rightful place in the badger parade!

The band Optimist Club have their last ever show tomorrow (tuesday) night at the Luminaire in Kilburn, London.

Optimist Club are one of the best live bands i have ever seen. They make the blood around yr body move. Their album is pure amazement. They will always be alive.

Alas they are splitting up and we should all be totally ashamed that we live in a world where this is allowed to happen. I can only hope their album achieves cult status, and that cool intelligent kids will buy their record from obscure record shops in years to come, and that Bryn, Jeion, Beach and Adam can now achieve the recognition they deserve in future projects.

This is their last ever gig. it is so important. You and I and everyone are going to go, and cry for our lives. -

8 out of 10 Drowned in Sound review is here.

'This is fake DIY' says: "It's three minutes of beeps, grinds and playful vocals, it has the kind of rave-infused rhythm Klaxons would sell their green glowstick for, it uses punctuation where it isn't needed, it makes you move your shoulders in a way offensive to epilepsy sufferers; it's absolutely brilliant. Friendly pop at its most confusing best." here.

" It shouldn't work but it does. Grand stuff for sure."  Playlouder review is here

"a bizarre onslaught of schizo-tronic clatter that is so annoyingly infectious that it's guaranteed to have you beat-boxing within seconds….Insane beats, erratic warblings and fax-machine beeps; add some pleasant vocals from Helen Tiger and it makes for quite a nice, albeit slightly mental, sound. All hail the Force! 4 out of 5"
full thing at High Voltage <--- there.

" It's only been in our greedy mits for little under 5 minutes and we are loving it to bits already." Losing Today review is here.

"the pair who specialise in gritty lo-fi laptop-electro-punk, morph into some kind of 8-bit gabba-tastic, quasi-drum & bass and colourful cartoon punk-pop. Phew. Tiger Force are by far the most interesting group on the Marquis Cha Cha label and that's no easy achievement" Angry Ape.com
