TYGERS OF PAN TANG
1980 - Wild Cat.
way more Helter Skelter.

August 23, 1980 - 2025: 45 years of: Wild Cat.

Another entry ...from the animal kingdom.

After the SCORPIONS, WHITESNAKE and recent LEPPARD, hard-rocknroll now presents: the TYGERS OF PAN TANG.

The gates gave in, the riot is imminent, as the loud assault of "Euthanasia" and "Slave To Freedom" rings. Young and obnoxious, these "Wild Catz" really want "Money". Overdriven classicrock by testosterone, the raw "Insanity" feeds the backstreet "Killers" with a purpose, as the bass-lick of "Fireclown" spreads fear into the competition.

England's ultimate sucker-punch: The New Wave Of British Heavy-Metal.

The year is 1980 and the island would be swarmed by ANGEL WITCH, IRON MAIDEN, GIRLSCHOOL and the motorcycle men of SAXON ...a brutal take-over ...a neat experience.

Don't touch 'em there, these TYGERS OF PAN TANG are of the untamed kind. The next roar shall bite harder with 1981's Spellbound LP ...featuring a certain John Sykes.
