Another Free iTunes Single of the Week: The Republic Tigers' "Buildings and Mountains"

Sep 16, 2008, 3:00pm The Village Voice: Sound of the City

Last week's prediction : bald dude, lots of anguish . Never had the impression that the iTunes free Single of the Week was the equivalent of those bargain cassette bins that used to lurk in the front of record stores, pawning off Filter overstock onto unsuspecting mall-goers, but what other explanation is there for posting a song that's a full two years old? "Of course this is free now!," says iTunes commenter sir benjamin, the music review guy: "I already bought it." Of course, nothing ever dies in licensing world, which is the [...]

The Dares: Love Me When I Leave

Aug 6, 2008, 5:00am Insomnia Radio: Daily Dose

When most bands tell you they’ve had to “grow up in public,” they’re talking about getting pushed into the spotlight before they’ve had a chance to find their voice. But for Whittier, California, trio The Dares, who started playing when twin brothers and co-founders Ben (guitar/lead vocals) and Matt (drums/vocals) Peterson were all of 8 years old, the idea was a bit more literal. These boys-to-men literally grew up in public, forming a band when their peers were still dabbling in youth-league sports and landing a major-label contract with Jive Records before they’d even finished high school. Today, as the [...]

The Republic Tigers: Buildings & Mountains

Aug 5, 2008, 4:00am Insomnia Radio: Daily Dose

Kansas City based group, The Republic Tigers , got their name from a mixture of a former band name, "Golden Republic" and a certain animal mascot from one of the band member's alma matters - two things that were apparently from significant periods in their lives. The quintet officially formed in 2005 and were the first 2007 signings to an imprint called Chop Shop Records based out of Pasadena, CA, a label with roots in music supervision (e.g. The OC, Grey's Anatomy). "Buildings & Mountains" is from The Republic Tigers 2008 debut full length called "Keep [...]

Republican Tiger Something or Other

Jul 9, 2008, 3:25am Eggs for Becky

Rebecca has been listening to these tracks on repeat, so I felt obliged to post them here. But first, I have to say, I experience a serious cognitive hiccup everytime I try to recall this band's name. Republic of Tigers. The Tiger Republic . Hell, even Republic Tiger . But no. It's the The Republic Tigers. GAWD. Did they have to do that? As for the music, this is straight up Rebecca's alley. Melodic. Expansive. (One reviewer rightly calls the sound "epic yet intimate.") And all with an underlying 80's synthpop sensibility. (For [...]

I'm glad you're not my ex-boyfriend (part one) : Tally Hall and The Republic Tigers at the Iron Horse, NoHo, 10/4/08 (Plus new records, etc.)

May 25, 2008, 2:58pm That One Pop! Gem

The Republic Tigers, Iron Horse, NoHo, MA I've just finished my last semester of college and moved back home, so you know what that means - I have a degree and I'm unemployed! Which, obviously, means time for updating and posting about all the stuff I meant to post about three months ago. Aren't you all excited?! Of course you are. Don't give me that. Continuing : I sort of squeed on for a bit about how happy I was that Tally Hall was on tour again and how they'd rereleased their record [...]

May 9, 2008, 1:46am Confessions of a Would-Be Hipster

The first band that I ever saw at my beloved troubadour was the Golden Republic , who were opening for Sondre Lerche and acting as his backing band. I was young and naïve way back in 2004, and they rocked the joint so hard that I was convinced the tiny, ancient building was going to collapse around me, and I didn't mind at all. Shortly after playing the Troub, the Golden Republic released a stellar self-titled debut, did a small tour to support it, and unceremoniously broke up. It hurt my soul a little bit. But!

The Republic Tigers “Buildings & Mountains” video

May 6, 2008, 9:00am BC Goodie Bag

The Republic Tigers are releasing their new album Keep Color today on Chop Shop Records. The video for the song "Buildings & Mountains" is available on iTunes , but frankly, I'm not quite sure what the appeal would be. Seems like a whole lot of artistic shots leading to a pointless storyline. The song is hypnotically cool, though, so I'll give 'em points for that. (more...)

I'm about to the point where if I listen to this song one more time my head's going to fall off, but seriously -- good for the Tigers. This is some top-dollar work, probably not seen since, well, the Golden Republic was on Astralwerks and had this one done.
