Tigress (band)

Tigress are a British rock band from Chelmsford, England. They first performed together as the Hype Theory but reformed as Tigress in August 2015, abandoning their early songs. Tigress consists of vocalist Katy Jackson, guitarists Tom Harrison and Sean Bishop and bassist Jack Divey. The band is currently independent. They were previously signed to Humble Angel Records where they released their debut album 'Pura Vida' on the 3rd September 2021 and LAB Records where they released their debut EP Human on 13 November 2015, follow up EP Like It Is on 12 May 2017 and 2018 EP Who Cares. All releases were met with much acclaim across a number of major and independent music publications.

Tigress originally performed under the name the Hype Theory, and during this time the band's sound was far more pop-rock and pop-punk focused. They gained traction after becoming one of the finalists for the Red Bull Bedroom Jam competition in 2011, which allowed them to perform at a number of high profile festivals that summer, including Sonisphere and Download. As The Hype Theory, they released their debut album Glory Days on 10 October 2011, and its follow-up Captives on 27 May 2013, both through Small Town Records.

On 27 August 2015, the band announced that they had officially changed their name to Tigress with immediate effect, and would subsequently no longer perform any material released as the Hype Theory. They would revive their music from this era for the Autumn 2025 shows in Liverpool, Birmingham and London.

Tigress released their debut EP Human on 13 November 2015. It was co-produced by You Me at Six guitarist Max Helyer and John Mitchell at Outhouse Studios in Reading and mixed by Romesh Dodangoda. The band's first show was performing at the Vans Warped Tour UK kick-off party at the Brooklyn Bowl in London on 14 September 2015. This was followed by a UK tour with Metro Station and a slot at the Vans Warped Tour UK at Alexandra Palace, London on 18 October 2015.

In support of the Human EP release, 2016 saw Tigress go out on a short headline tour in June which included a sold-out show in the band's hometown of Chelmsford. The band also played with Alvarez Kings and Fort Hope. In late 2016, the band went into Middle Farm Studios to record their Like It Is EP with Peter Miles.

In March 2017 the band went on a UK and mainland Europe tour with Counterfeit. They were joined by Decade in mainland Europe and Faux in the UK. Prior to the Counterfeit support tour, TIGRESS played Seaway's headline London show in February. They were joined by WSTR. On 12 May 2017, the band released the Like It Is EP. This was followed by a set at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, performing with Green Day at British Summer Time in Hyde Park and a tour of Russia and Eastern Europe with Billy Talent. In October 2017, Tigress showcased at the BBC Music Introducing conference Amplify, supported The One Hundred in London and performed at 2Q Festival in Lincoln.

February 2018 saw Tigress open for Japan's Man With A Mission in London, followed by an appearance at Spring Break Festival in Poland on 21 April. The band supported InMe in May, which was followed by the release of their third EP Who Cares. June saw the band perform on the Avalanche Stage at Download Festival. Towards the end of the year the band opened for The Xcerts and Skindred.

May 2019 saw Tigress play Hit The North Festival in Newcastle. This was followed by a tour of the UK and Germany with Story Untold and Between You And Me. The end of the month saw TIGRESS release a cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop.
