We love Tigers That Talked. Firstly, it must be said, how many bands do you know that have a better, more enticing name? Our first introduction to this Leeds 4 four piece was the incredible “23 Fears” a song so good that at one point it was all we listened to for about a week. So how do you follow that? Well with the equally epic, hand clapping foot-stomper which is “Holy Saturday, Gloomy Sunday.” [Get it free] This track does exactly what the name suggests; combining cut through, melancholy vocals and euphoric Arcade Fire esque guitar swell and hyped up violin. Go see them live, and then brag about how you discovered them first. [ish]
