TIGERCUB – AS BLUE AS INDIGO
The latest album from Tigercub, As Blue as Indigo, is already generating buzz due to some high-profile praise. Pearl Jam‘s Stone Gossard is a big fan and has so much faith in the young group, he’s publicly offered to sign them to his own Loosegroove Records.
I fell in love with this band Tigercub. They are fricken heavy…Then Jamie Hall sent me this new song “Funeral” which is out now. Shit! The man can kill a quiet song as well. Hey Tigercub do you want to sign to Loosegroove Records? Come on!” -Stone
