According to Ground Control Touring, the new album showcase all the elements fans have come to love about Tigers Jaw. There\u2019s the powerful and pounding rhythm section, the great melodic leads that shift from instrument to instrument, and, as always, the interchanging and overlapping vocals. With five years since their last release, Walsh noted that the band \u201cwanted to feel confident in the material we have and let things progress naturally.\u201d And so they took their time finding what felt right, even though, of course, life continued on all around them.<\/p>\n Songs like \u201cPrimary Colors\u201d and \u201cBaptized on a Redwood Drive\u201d find the band embracing a driving midtempo similar to alt rock heroes Jimmy Eat World or Weezer, with other tracks like \u201cHead is Like a Sinking Stone\u201d and \u201cBreezer\u201d feeling so classic that the best reference is Tigers Jaw themselves. They sing about blades and knives, anxieties and intentions, and timeless TJ topics like two worlds and ghosts.<\/p>\n The Orpheum<\/p>\n Dead Meadow<\/p>\n TAMPA \u2014 Psychedelic rockers Dead Meadow will perform on Sunday, April 12, 7 p.m., at the Orpheum, 14802 N.
