TIGER ARMY
II: Power Of Moonlight (Hell Cat)

Reviewed by John Sekerka



Nick 13 was looking like the new Joe Strummer on the debut record, but abruptly turns a corner with a sequel record that is a relentless high octane hybrid of rockabilly and punk in a power trio format. An underlying country feel breaks through on the stellar "In The Orchard," a tune turned down several notches to reveal Nick's wonderful nasal twang riding a sweet pedal steel guitar wave. A momentary lapse in the high fuelled proceedings, but hopefully a sign of things to come.
