Spartan Records shared news of a new band, a new song, and a new record (to come) from some familiar faces.

84 Tigers is a new band featuring Mike and Ben Reed and Jono Diener, who have played the post-hardcore circuit for many years in groups including Small Brown Bike and The Swellers.

The band began the demoing process in early 2021, following COVID isolation the year before, leading to 10 songs which they recorded with Marc Jacob Hudson for a fall release.

While official details about the record are still to come, the band has shared "Kingdom of One" now.

6/9 - Chicago, IL - Beat Kitchen
