Happy Zombie Jesus Weed Day from the Tiger Boys

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

At our last show I discovered that youth group kids LOVE US. Seems like they really vibe with our non-religious pro-social secular humanist message can I get a hell yeah

Welp I guess it’s time to write a new record

I love cats I love every kind of cat I just want to hug all of them

Been using the 48 hour rule with everything happening. When I read something about the next horrible thing orange dumpster fire is trying to do, i give it a couple days. More things fizzled in those 2 days than not, but not nearly enough. It’s helped my mental health though and that’s something.

This Sunday is our next show - if you’re in Columbus, come see Cam play blast beats for 30 minutes

You guys our new drummer is so awesome (he had big shoes to fill and boy howdy he’s done it)

Hi I got the urge to write again and I think we’re gonna go for some down and dirty early 2000s metalcore stuff - think He Is Legend/Hot Damn!-era ETID/Scogin-era Norma Jean/Evergreen Terrace. I’m so excited to get started!

Happy birthday to the high-flyin’ bass god Alex!

I want to play a show with @95corolla.bsky.social again

A 78 year old man wearing bronzer threw a tantrum in the Oval today and some of y’all think women are too emotional?

Taco said he would be disappointed if he found out you weren’t still listening to Manticore. And you don’t want to disappoint Taco… do you?

Fewer things are more cathartic for me than doing vocal warmups in my car to Every Time I Die songs

It’s raining today but at least that means I can use my katana umbrella (a regular umbrella but with a katana handle)

Taco’s favorite morning ritual is deciding whether he should sit with my wife in her blanket cocoon or ferociously rub his face against my feet (he does both)

Rehearsing for the first time in a month. Jamming with your buds is healing

Watching Bob’s Burgers with my kid is so fun

dudes who brag about listening to cancelled bands have the same energy to me as white guys who will just casually drop the n word or the r slur at a party — what are you trying to prove man

Hey is anyone still listening to Album of the Year contender Manticore by A Tiger Made of Lightning?

Deleting our Twitter account finally. Thanks for following us here. Tell your friends to follow us, too - we are cute and funny

I just introduced my 11 year old to Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. I haven’t heard her laugh that hard in a long time. It was glorious.

Hey Bluesky it’s my wife’s birthday and I wouldn’t have made this band without her support and blessing so can she get a hell yeah in the comments for being so awesome?

Hey just a reminder that all of our songs are about at least one of 3 things: 1) extreme hatred of bullies/bootlickers/billionaires/ceos/nazis/wannabe dictators 2) practicing radical joy and hope despite the bleakness of the world 3) cats and/or mythical creatures based on cats

MANTICORE has been out for 3 weeks - does anyone still f with this? If you do, do you have a favorite song?

Cybertrucks? Oh you mean Swasticars.

In these very bleak and rock-less times, we here at A Tiger Made of Lightning are committed to rock, and will continue to rock, out of pure spite.

Ahem *taps mic* HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH GO LISTEN TO SOME BANDS WIRH POC IN THEM AND SUPPORT POC ARTISTS OF ALL KINDS

Are you a metal head? Are you aggressively and relentlessly optimistic? Do you think hope is hard fucking core? Are you also a big fucking nerd? Listen to @atmolband.bsky.social two albums. Report back and let me know what you thought! #metal #hopecore #nerdcore #joyisaradicalactofdefiance

Bodhi, I’ll miss you so much. Thank you for being such a good boy and for always being there for emotional support. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet, and I believe we’ll meet each other again somehow. I love you and miss you with my entire being.

And then right after that listen to @95corolla.bsky.social

Last night at the gig I had everybody yell out their favorite mythical creature at the same time. Someone said “Jesus.”Someone else yelled “bitches.” The correct answer was Manticore, but now I’m not so sure.

Watching racist idiots give literal nazi salutes trying to justify Elon doing it and then immediately getting fired it is my new favorite show 🍿

Release show went off last night. Thanks to everyone who showed up. It’s wild to see people singing all the words to then new record to my face. Yall are wild for that. Also - listen to Dimwit, Lucky Shot, and Minnows.

MERCH.

ready for our release show tomorrow night. Can I get a hell yeah for metalcore sax solos?

The Chariot.

Hey our release show is tomorrow. If you’re in Columbus, you should be there. The supporting bands are all incredible too

I think it’s time we have an Ohio music scene vs Oklahoma music scene battle for DIY dominance over states starting with O.

Ok Not to numbers brag or whatever but our record has been out for 5 days and we’ve already surpassed our previous best first week for a release. For real, thank you for listening to our songs. It really means the world to us and we’re so grateful for all of you. Forehead kisses all around.

To everyone feeing sad and scared today please remember one thing - your survival is the greatest form of protest. These ghouls will throw everything they can at you for the next 4 years but they’ll NEVER be happy and they’ll NEVER win if, after all of their efforts, you’re still here.
