The Republic Tigers is an American alternative rock band formed in Kansas City, Missouri by Kenn Jankowski (formerly of The Golden Republic) and Adam McGill. They were the first act to sign with Chop Shop Records (an imprint of Atlantic Records), owned by Alexandra Patsavas of Chop Shop Music Supervision. ==History== The Republic Tigers is the result of a collaboration between Kenn Jankowski and Adam McGill. Years prior to the formation of the band, Jankowski and McGill recorded tracks for a project tentatively dubbed ''Fi''. "Fi" was placed on hold when interest in The Golden Republic picked up, and Jankowski shifted his focus to that group. In 2005, Jankowski returned to Kansas City to embark on a new project. He reconnected with McGill, and together they began writing and recording new material. Within a few weeks, they recruited several additional band members: Ryan Pinkston, Justin Tricomi (formerly of The Storied Northwest) and Marc Pepperman. The group released their first full album, ''Keep Color,'' on May 6, 2008. It includes the singles ''Buildings & Mountains'' and ''Fight Song.'' On the week of September 14, 2008, ''Buildings And Mountains'' was featured as the free single of the week on iTunes. In late 2008, they embarked on their first overseas tour with the band Travis. Most recently, they played at the annual "Buzz Beach Ball" event with Weezer, Blink 182, Matt & Kim, Taking Back Sunday, and others. Since signing with Chop Shop Records, their music has been featured on several prime time network television shows including ''Grey's Anatomy'', ''Gossip Girl'', ''Chuck'', ''Supernatural'' and ''Sunao ni Narenakute''. The Republic Tigers made their first nationally televised appearance on May 22, 2008 on the Late Show with David Letterman. ''No Land’s Man (EP)'' was released on April 16, 2011, exclusively at indie record stores nationwide in celebration of Record Store Day. The digital release followed on April 19, as well as a 7” color vinyl release featuring ''Merrymake It With Me'' and an exclusive b-side, ''Whale Fight.'' The album was self-produced and recorded in Kansas City, MO and features a remix of ''The Nerve'' off of their 2008 ''Keep Color'' release. The band had previously announced their second full-length album for release in 2012, to be titled ''Mind Over Matter,'' but as of November 2015, no release date has been set.〔http://popwreckoning.com/2011/02/01/the-republic-tigers-announce-no-land%E2%80%99s-man-ep/ 〕〔https://twitter.com/#!/republictigers/status/160219742999814144〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Republic Tigers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
