About Me

"Seattle's Steel Tigers of Death have already started to garner a following of fans with their gale-force drumming, disorienting time signatures, and undercurrent of freakishly hooky melodies."
-Hannah Levin, The Stranger
"Effectively mixing comedy and rock is trickier than you think. Too much of the former and you wind up with GWAR or Green Jelly; alternately, if you scrimp on the gags, the occasional gut-buster will just leave fans scratching their heads. But punk-metal quartet Steel Tigers of Death have struck the perfect balance. They liven up their shows with ever-changing matching ensembles (ugly sweaters one show, matching tennis ensembles the next) and hilarious patter. And when it comes time to unleash whippet-quick, blistering originals like "Sea Demon" and "Target: Cockpuncher," the boys are deadly serious. Serious like a water balloon."
-Kurt B. Reighly, The Stranger
"..these four marvelous and exciting tracks take a sound like Rocket from the Crypt and devolve it a little bit in the direction of the Youth Brigade."
-Cuss Baxter, Razorcake
"I'm proud of EVERYTHING you do"
-El Tigre's mom
