We Tigers' music doesn't pretend to have found or comprehended all of the social patterns that bond us. It struggles with the listener to find them, and it's just that which makes it so exciting and pertinent. Through their playing, each member desperately seeks pragmatic, unforgiving answers to their own abstract questions. Harris Novick, who studied music composition at NYU takes what would plainly be infectious vocal melodies and contorts them until bliss and gloom intertwine with his muscular chord attacks. After spending a grueling six months in India studying music, Michael Kirsch's guitar and sitar playing has become commanding and ethereal. Nicholas Occhuito brings angular, New York rock n' roll to his guitar playing, while Jonathan Silverman's gasoline-bubble bass palpitates with the tribal drums of Joshua Hoffman.

When We Tigers came together in 2006 New York, the music became a gritty, blistering vehicle that charges through a dark tunnel of psychedelia. It speaks in pop rock tongues as it races towards the daylight at the end.

On In Transit EP, recorded in the first months of 2007 and released/distributed by Them Tigers Productions, the band made the first proclamation of their biting sound. A neurotic, urgent love letter to New York/UK psychedelic post-punk and Indian drone, In Transit EP sees the band beginning to root out their musical pulse, and the result towers over anything the band initially anticipated. French website, Le Tralala Club, called Tell Two Friends, "superb," and asked its readers to "add [We Tigers to] the long list of the groups to watch for."

Not long after the release of In Transit EP, the band began crafting their second EP, Rivals. The seven-track recording, released on September 20, 2007, is an adventurous chronicle of a band that found what makes them unusual and absorbing. The thick and uncompromising sound is electrified by the very things that brought We Tigers to play music—the rapture, the pressures, the guilt, the pains, the love, the hate--all the things life presented and could only be expressed musically. The raucous wall of sound was recorded by We Tigers' Jonathan Silverman, and mixed by Tom Durack (Lou Reed, They Might Be Giants, B52s' Loveshack).

With a quickly building fan base and a massive live show (headlining Luna Lounge, Trash Bar, The Delancey), people are undoubtedly watching and waiting for We Tigers' debut full-length album to be released in late 2008, and the tour that will follow.
