Indie / Psychedelic Rock. Lead singer and guitarist Fenton Green Tully, Franco on drums and bassist Lucas Edgar.

Since first jamming in 2010, Being A Tiger have cemented a line up consisting of a solid three piece that plays a dynamically shifting take on post-harcore/alt-rock. It took many years for them to find their own sound but they have crafted it slowly and on their own terms. With energy coursing through their alt-rock/punk like wall of sound, they surge through sets with a ferocity that invokes reactions from crowds and demands attention. However, simply being loud appears to be dull to the Being A Tiger collective and so they push and pull their sets by interleaving moments of raw sparseness which allows for the crowds to collect themselves before raising them again.

Being A Tiger so far have released two E.P.'s and a single. Staying true to the DIY bands that clearly influence them, the two E.P.'s are self produced and distributed. Their first E.P. "Not Being A Tiger is Sh*t" (2013) demonstrated early on that they can thrash out a set of songs that sound natural and driven whereas their second E.P. "Done In Three Days" (2015) displayed how raw their sound can be by tracking live and straight to tape. Being A Tiger then hit new heights by releasing their most targeted and powerful music to date with "X Predates Y" released on Shoveitupyourcult Records in 2016.

2017 became a testing time for the band as a lineup change slowed the momentum built from gigging and releasing 'X Predates Y' however this hasn't stopped them. In late 2017 the band returned with new music and news of a new single and split 7" to be released in early 2018.

This activity shows how Being A Tiger are never halted in their story.

Short, lyrically ambitious, always direct and often whimsical songs.

"Rarely is a UK punk band as exhilaratingly competent as …And The Hangnails." NME

DIY Indie / Punk / 'Loud-as-fuck-guitar-pop' duo.

"...a wall of noise from one of the most respected bands from around York and North Yorkshire, this DIY punk duo rattle through songs at a rate of knots. There's no time to catch your breath really. With this raw power and anthemic choruses no wonder everyone's buzzing about them at the minute." ( BBC RADIO 1. Jericho Keys on the Huw Stephens Show).

“…And The Hangnails packed such a sucker punch on the night I was literally left gaping, open mouthed, and considering there is just two of them the sound scape that just explodes when these guys are on stage is just incredible. Blisteringly brilliant live. Check them out I urge you. They are truly incredible.” BBC Introducing

"Consistently brilliant adrenaline shots of 'loud-as-fuck-guitar-pop." Culturedvultures

"Absorb the video for feral cut 'Everybody's Luck'. Propulsive, unrelenting noise rock songwriting. The track finds Martyn Fillingham and Steven Reid on typically blood curdling form." CLASH Magazine
