"Do you wanna be friends?". Indeed, we do. On the evidence of this release, anyway. Instantly noisy, frenetic guitar, big drums and pinpoint vocals; this is Swansea's French Alps Tiger with Life. A breathless tune that ends before it begins, then collapses into a heap of riotous chaos.
Who are French Alps Tiger? They are Russ, Duffy, Jess and Durke and they like writing music that reminds them of being kids and playing shows that remind you too.
'Life' is French Alps Tiger’s sixth single and the band say "If you can spank your entire ethos on living into a 2 and a half minute bop, you might be bad at being a person. ‘Life’ is our rage-stomping ode to embracing the stuff they didn’t mention at the end of Train-spotting, cuz you never woulda made it going straight anyway. A pack of tissues for your daddy issues, and a warm pint of “I didn’t ask to be born, Mam!”
Please give it a spin, then be prepared to sit down for a rest.
