Fronted by singer David Martin, Tigers In Cairo was co-founded by drummer Matt Yansch, bassist Dennis Smith, and guitarists Gavin Rhodes and Paul Skura. The band formed as a result of Rhodes' New Years resolution to start a band in his new hometown after moving from New York City. He posted an ad on Craigslist and connected with Yansch, a longtime San Diego drummer. Completing the lineup with more locals, they took a name inspired by the Cure's "Fire In Cairo."
They combine the sound of 90s indie and shoegaze with the punk of their hometown. Their debut single "Always Adored" dropped in September 2024.
