TIGER ARMY
III: Ghost Tigers Rise (Epitaph Records)
Reviewed by Jason Thornberry

Somewhere in an old pickup truck on the outskirts of Hell, Elvis Presley is rockin' Tiger Army's II: The Power of Moonlite. Little does he -- or the living Glen Danzig -- know, but their favorite band is planning to twist the knife again. III: Ghost Tigers Rise is the extension of a concept fully understood only by Tiger Army foundation and sole original member Nick 13. But that shouldn't confuse fans of the early fifties twang of psychobilly or the straight up no-worries/no-conscience of late fifties rock. It's dark and creepy, like voices from the undead (see G. Danzig) on scratched 45s, and Tiger Army does to the "psychobilly" genre what the rabid dog did to the pussycat. (Lifting a glass) Here's to your own morbid curiosity...

9/10
