Hailing from the Zürich area in Switzerland, Tribal write rock songs and ballads full of emotions, ranging from politics involvement to gloomy memories. They write and sing their lyrics in English and self-produce their records.
Founded in August 2003 by Mark Rossi (guitars), Greg Bailey (vocals) and Üse Müller (bass guitar), Tribal later added drummer Andy Gantenbain (drums) to complete their line-up. Most of the year 2004 was spent playing live in clubs and composing and recording their first tracks. Among them, the audience-swinging Feed the Public and the melancholy ballad Daddy were recorded as their first demo CD.
In April 2005, Tribal released their first long-playing studio work, called Cardboard Heroes, proving to be a fine rock'n'roll band. The album contains 13 original and high-quality tracks, well arranged and produced by band members. Most of the material has been recorded live, without the addiction of many overdubs, giving the album an immediate impact and a live feeling. Some tracks have been stripped down to the minimum reproducing the essential live sound of the band. Some solos and main vocals were recorded on-the-fly, fully immersed in the musical process, benefiting from the authenticity and uniqueness of the moment. The album has been mixed and mastered in autumn 05 by Frank Motnik at Framespotting Studios in Frankfurt.
Second half of 2005 found Tribal going around Switzerland, playing clubs and smaller festivals promoting their CD-album. Their short club-tour culminated in the official CD release party which took place November 5th at Rock City in Uster, a well known place in the local music scene, where in the youngest past acts such as Brides of destruction and L.A. Guns performed quite unique concerts. As special gift to their enthusiastic audience is to mention the presentation of their video Daddy which Tribal elf-produced with the strong help of their friends of the local tv station Züri Plus.
The video has been shot in front of Gasometer in Schlieren near Zürich, a piece of industrial architecture recently renovated, catching the band live in action, while the main topic of the song, a difficult father-son relationship, is narrated through indoor scenes, interpreted by a crew of professional actors.
After a lot of gigs in 2006 and 2007 also a show a support of Oni Logan (Lynch Mob), they released the Single "Higher". The title track and the b-side "Holy" were played in some radio stations in Switzerland and Germany.
Actually they record their 2nd Album "Circle". It will be released in 2009.
Capable of delivering blistering energy when performing live, their style cannot be accurately labeled -- or accurately defined -- as anything less than emotional or tribal rock.
