Tiger Army is a psychobilly band that was formed in 1995 in Berkeley, California.
The band played their first show at legendary venue 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California, with AFI on March 29, 1996. After making a name for themselves playing shows throughout the California area alongside AFI and English psychobilly pioneers The Meteors, they were signed to Chapter Eleven Records.
Tiger Army first entered the studio in the summer of 1996 to record a self-titled vinyl record EP, now referred to as the Temptation EP. This EP caught the attention of Tim Armstrong (of Operation Ivy and Rancid fame), owner of Hellcat Records, who signed the band and they’ve been signed to Hellcat ever since.
The band has gone through several different line-ups, only Nick 13, the lead singer and guitarist, is the remaining band member from the original line-up. In September 2004 Nick 13 quickly announced a new line-up for Tiger Army, featuring drummer “Wasted” James Meza (formerly of The Rezurex and numerous other small Los Angeles psychobilly bands, and a former touring drummer for the Nekromantix) and stand-up bassist Jeff Roffredo (formerly of Cosmic Voodoo, Calavera and The Rezurex), who are now full-time members of Tiger Army.
In January 2008, stand-up bassist Jeff Roffredo was replaced by Geoff Kresge (formerly of AFI, the HorrorPops, and VIVA HATE), who had previously performed on Tiger Army’s “Power Of Moonlight” and “Ghost Tigers Rise” albums.

I happen to like Tiger Army, but I don't think they're necessarily Psychobilly. They're more of a modern Rockabilly/Y'alternative band. Great example of such: Social Distortion.

All four albums plus the Early Years EP are awesome. Nick 13 is an excellent songwriter with a great voice. Really looking forward to his solo cd.

I dislike. I really just can not hear anything too psycho from their music. It is just something modern pop-punk with an upright bass. I have spoken, happy listenings to y'all.

not too much of psychobilly but quite melodic and the cover of 20flight rock is fine
