Tygers Of Pan Tang drummer Craig Ellis talks about the track White Lines, that have been released as the first single from Tygers Of Pan Tangs 2019 album Ritual. The history of the track goes back to 2016 when Rob send Craig a demo version of the track and wanted Craig to work on the lyrics. “I particularly liked one of Robbs guitar riffs he sent out to us as a demo and I wrote the lyrics/melodies to both verses almost immediately. It was sometime later when I wrote the complete chorus. I presented it to the guys in 2018 and we worked on it and developed it into what it is today. The first verse, the many miles on the roads I have done as a musician, is about something I have done for what seems like forever and will continue to do. The second verse, the incomprehensible amount of cocaine I indulged in during a nine week stay in Nassau, is about a particularly crazy nine weeks I went through in 1998. The single comes with an exclusive B-side being a new recording of the classic Tygers song “Don’t Touch Me There”, which celebrates its 40 years anniversary in 2019. This new version features guitar solos from Tygers member Robb Weir, Micky Crystal as well as former Tygers member and producer Fred Purser and producer Soren Andersen. Tygers Of Pan Tang are among the most influential New Wave Of British Heavy Metal bands alongside Saxon, Diamond Head, Iron Maiden and Def Leppard.
