The California punk trio Tiger Army came together in early 1996, opening for AFI and earning respect from other players and fans including Rancid frontman and Hellcat Records co-founder Tim Armstrong. With his interest, the band released their first album in 1999. Over the years Tiger Army has been on the rise, eventually making it to the VANS Warped Tour lineup starting in 2004.
