The
Tigers Jaw album cover is one of the most popular and well known album covers in
the new USHC and punk scene.
The main
things that can be taken from the cover of Tigers Jaw’s self titled release are
wealth and people fitting in.
The pizza
reference is to fitting in. In the hardcore, punk and pop punk genres, people
claim that pizza is the centre of the genres. Tigers Jaw are a very
unconventional hardcore punk band, they use keyboards and acoustic guitars in
some songs, so the use of pizza on the front cover may be a marketing idea, to
say to people looking at the album ‘we are like any other hardcore punk band.’
The name
is also very conventional as they have put the name on the album in a very
clear position.
