On May 28th 2021 NWoBHM survivors Tygers Of Pan Tang will release worldwide their newest album Majors & Minors, which continues the band’s legacy with a fine selection of songs that were written and recorded over the last thirteen years. It’s not just a “Best of” compilation, because the band wanted to offer something special to both loyal fans, collectors and those who might have missed their latest records. “It’s like your best Tygers tracks, but all in one place!”, says guitarist Robb Weir. And once again the stunning artwork will make the products and merchandise associated with the album things of beauty to behold.

The band chose songs on the album which they believed to be classics and to represent the latter day ‘Renaissance’ of the Tygers, something ironically boosted by having a Florentine on vocals! Partially written on the road, the tracks not only have killer riffs, balls and power pushing performances to the limit, but express the band’s creativity and musical chemistry for song writing. Not afraid to even add Spanish Guitars and castanets if a track demands it this band are never boring!

Party songs, heavy songs, rock anthems, groovy rock’n’rollers, catchy songs cleverly constructed with accessible melodies, the band has packed all of this in to this meaty package. The contribution of sadly-missed producer Chris Tsangarides, always able to pull the best out of the band, was instrumental. The band feel that this “new” period for the Tygers – which has in fact lasted longer than the original line up – has produced songs which are indispensable to the history of the band. “It’s been a lot of fun putting this together, so get yourself comfy, press play and let the Tygers do the rockin’” -Robb Weir.

The CD version of the compilation includes Plug Me In, never released on CD, a new orchestral version of Spoils of War, as well as What You Say, never released in an album format before. Furthermore, a live version of Keeping Me Alive, recorded in 2018, will grace the vinyl format of Majors & Minors.

Majors & Minors will be released in digital, LP and CD formats by Mighty Music on May 28th 2021. “Tygers music is full of big notes and little notes, so let’s start with a Major one and finish with on a Minor!” – Robb Weir
