Hailing from the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, Fire Tiger is a band led by the captivating singer and songwriter Tiff Alkouri. Joining her are co-writer and keyboard player James Ramsey, fiery guitarist Jordan Lucas, groovy bassist Tyler Renga and rhythmic anchor drummer Lorenzo Meynardi.
Since their inception, Fire Tiger has etched their sonic tales into the vinyl grooves of Energy, their debut ten-song album from 2014. With subsequent releases like Suddenly Heavenly (2018) and All the Time (2020), they've found a comfortable place in the indie music scene, amassing a dedicated following. My first encounter with their music was through "Give Me Room," which immediately invoked a sense of nostalgia. This track takes us back to the '80s, with clear influences, especially reminiscent of Madonna. The production and instrumentation carry that unmistakable '80s vibe, complete with the kind of MIDI sounds you'd expect from that era. "Undeniable" also channels an '80s aura, evoking memories of middle school dances and slow dances in particular. It's a heartfelt ballad that captures the essence of that era. "Energy," on the other hand, leans into a more rock-infused sound, falling somewhere between Van Halen and Heart, with a contemporary touch that brings to mind groups like Haim. It's safe to say that Fire Tiger's music is likely to strike a chord with those of a certain age, conjuring memories of a time when these kinds of songs dominated the mainstream. It's refreshing to see Fire Tiger keeping the spirit of that era alive and well.
