The time has come for Evil Island to launch their debut single, \u201cTiger Baby\u201c. That collective features three members of post-hardcore\/screamo outfit The Blood Brothers, including Johnny Whitney (vocals), guitarist\/vocalist Cody Votolato and drummer Mark Gajadhar. As for the bass, that role is being filled by Autry Fulbright (OFF!, ex-\u2026And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, etc.).<\/p>\n
Having already established a relationship amid their earlier days in The Blood Brothers, producer Ross Robinson (Korn, Slipknot) took on this new single and also signed the band to Blowed Out Records. He runs that label venture alongside Ghostemane and Bill Armstrong.<\/p>\n
As for officially launching the band with this track, Whitney commented:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe chose \u2018Tiger Baby\u2018 for the first single from our new record because it\u2019s kind of like the everything bagel of songs from the session. It\u2019s heavy and crazy and chaotic but also very catchy and hooky which is very much what the entire record sounds like all baked into one song.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robinson meanwhile said of the band\u2019s forthcoming debut album:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a record I\u2019ve wanted to make for way too long, ever since signing and producing The Blood Brothers\u2018 \u2018Burn Piano Island, Burn\u2018 .. I feel Evil Island is the coolest fucking band on earth and dare anyone to step up to the unleashing fire these guys throw down- they\u2019re the king of kings .. I can\u2019t believe we got to make this thing, it\u2019s an artistic\/emotionally violent dream come true for me!\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The time has come for Evil Island to launch their debut single, \u201cTiger Baby\u201c.
