Mixing acoustic instruments with synths, their soundscapes are glittered with quirky rhythms and infectious hooks.

After attracting the attention of BBC Music, Talk Like Tigers recorded a live BBC Introducing session, have been played on BBC Radio 1 by Huw Stephens and had their debut single premiere on BBC Radio 6 Music. 

Talk Like Tigers’ live performances pop with vocal harmonies as they switch between synths, guitar, drum pads and vocal effects. Talk Like Tigers have played festivals including Standon Calling 2021, Glastonbury and Lindisfarne Festival, as well as renowned venues such as the O2 Academy Newcastle and Sage Gateshead. They have played live alongside artists such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Georgia and have performed a sold out BBC Introducing show at the Sage with Another Sky.
