You can spot Jamie Hall from a mile off. Standing at seven feet tall, the Tigercub mainman is what Roald Dahl imagined when he wrote The BFG: a kind-hearted, gentle giant from Sunderland, whether he’s fronting the Brighton-based trio, masterminding the mixing desk at Brighton Electric Studios (bassist Jimi Wheelwright is the general manager) or blocking the crowd view at London’s BST Hyde Park, where Tigercub supported Pearl Jam in 2022.
In more ways than his height, Jamie caught the eye of Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard. He signed them to his own label, Loosegroove, for 2023’s third record The Perfume Of Decay. They extended their partnership to this week’s follow-up, Nets To Catch The Wind. A decade on from their debut, the trio have now nailed down their superpower: savage, uncompromising stoner-rock riffs. It’s as if you pumped Royal Blood full of steroids, added the falsetto fusion of Matt Bellamy with Josh Homme, and cranked it all up to 11.
