Pull Tiger Tail are a rare beast: indie-cool but über-ambitious; playful in appearance but deadly serious in intent; beloved of bloggers, fans and critics alike.Marcus Ratcliff, Jack Hamson and Davo McConville are Pull Tiger Tail. Described by the Guardian as "the Smiths, Fugazi, Ride and Big Star mashed together in one breathless whole", the new single 'Hurricanes' is their most expressive example to date of the delicate balance of opposing forces that make up the band: a song that comprises all the elements that people have come to love about this trio of adopted Londoners, but supercharges the package with a towering chorus that announces to the wider world that Pull Tiger Tail are, with this first chart-eligible release, truly up to the task of delivering universally popular songs that still crackle with electrifying wit and energy.Pull Tiger Tail's debut album, due this August, is set to become one of this year's defining records - a brilliant concoction of post-everything anarchy and world-conquering ambition. Samplers will be available soon, but for those who cannot wait that long, the best appetiser will be to catch Pull Tiger Tail's dazzling live performances when they embark on the NME New Music Tour with The Rumble Strips, The Little Ones and Blood Red Shoes in May.TOUR DATES
