Southern California punksters Tiger Army have been honing their psychobilly twists since 1995, playing gigs around the Bay Area, where Operation Ivy, Rancid, and Green Day made names for themselves. Their self-titled debut was released in 1999, and in 2001 they issued Tiger Army II: Power of Moonlite. The psychobilly-powered Tiger Army III: Ghost Tigers Rise hit in June 2004, and they spent the following year touring Europe and Australia before coming home and headlining their own tour of the U.S. In 2006 they began recording sessions with veteran producer Jerry Finn and the results, 2007's Music from Regions Beyond, proved to be the most diverse and commercial-sounding album of their career. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
