San Diego’s post-punk quintet, Tigers In Cairo, is wrapping up a massive debut year with a holiday gift for fans of punk rock history. Their new EP, as told by…, features blistering reinterpretations of Jawbreaker and Mission of Burma. The lead track, a polished yet intense version of Jawbreaker’s “Do You Still Hate Me?,” showcases vocalist David Martin’s muscular bravado. Meanwhile, their take on Mission of Burma’s “That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate” honors bassist Clint Conley with a beefed-up low end. Embodying 90s alt-energy and modern melodic intensity, Tigers In Cairo cement their status as one of Southern California’s most exciting acts.
