Tigers in Cairo blends Jawbreaker's raw grit with Militarie Gun's punch, giving '90s rock a modern edge. The band’s journey began when guitarist Gavin Rhodes, new to San Diego, resolved to start a band. After a decade out of the scene, Rhodes turned to Craigslist and quickly connected with drummer Matt Yansch. The duo clicked instantly, and Yansch brought in bassist Dennis Smith and guitarist Paul Skura.
Skura, a lifelong music enthusiast, had never played in a band before but was drawn out of his comfort zone by the group's dynamic energy. They found their missing piece in vocalist David Martin, who was eager to join after hearing their demos. With a solid lineup, they chose the name 'Tigers in Cairo,' nodding to The Cure’s "Fire in Cairo" and reflecting their diverse influences. “Tigers aren’t native to Egypt or Africa, so we liked that juxtaposition, mirroring our broad range of influences — '90s indie rock, shoegaze, power pop, San Diego punk, hardcore, plus others,” Rhodes explains.
As their sound evolves, Rhodes and Smith lay the musical foundation, Martin adds lyrics, and Yansch sharpens the arrangements. “We’re really starting to come into our sound as a band,” Smith says. With deep roots in San Diego's punk scene, the band has been dubbed a local supergroup. While the title brings expectations, Tigers in Cairo is ready for the challenge, turning a simple New Year's resolution into something much bigger.
