About Me

Tigris is the collective thoughts of music behind the creator, Anthony Presti. Formed in 2007, after the demise of his wonderfully achieved hardcore band Derge, Tigris has explored a new direction in music. "This is everything I have wanted to play over the past ten years that I never did." A complete 180 from the hardcore music of derge, Tigris blends a mix of rock, country, folk, blues, jazz, and soul to create a long awaited solo album. With a band to form soon, Tigris is working on it's first album, Huaca De La Luna, which will be created solely by Tigris, with a bunch of collaborations from friends. "I am very optimistic about this album, I feel it will do great things for music." Tigris is out to prove that even hardcore fans can explore all sides of music. Step outside the box, it's time for Tigris...
