Republican Tiger Something or Other
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 the record, TRT's songwriting is a little too neat for me. This music doesn't really hold my attention.)

I was very much in danger of being battered to death for having "All the Right Things" - The Sheds on repeat.
And since the song only lasts about 2.5mins then I'm sure the torture I have been inflicting on those around me (they deserve it!) was quite intense.
Hence - cheers, cupcakes, for the links, hints, tips, pushes, points, "over there! Look!" and other assorted wotnots.

Oh how I love thee for showing me The Republic Tigers!
Hah! Glad you like em'.
(And very pleased to hear that you're playing The Sheds on repeat!)
