This is from a website I recently visited, and because of it I decided to give Tigertailz another listen...

80 Lesser Known Hard Rock And Metal Bands From The 80s That Should Have Been Bigger

​

Tigertailz was the U.K.’s version of Poison. Musically their debut was much heavier than Poison’s. The band featured vocalist Steevi Jaimz on vocals, who had a more gruff voice that contributed to the band sounding less like a bubblegum glam band and more like a sleaze rock band in the vein of L.A. Guns or Faster Pussycat. Young And Crazy was a fantastic debut, but the band parted ways with Steevi Jaimz after this release. While they continued on with other vocalists, and still do today, they never reached the level that they achieved with the first album. Young And Crazy was one of the best glam metal releases of the ’80s. If you can find this one, you should get it. It’s great on every level.

If you paid attention above, I said I'd try to give Tigertailz another listen, because I heard them before, but I didn't think much of them.  Well this article got me believing I was wrong about them, but, lo and behold, I wasn't.  The Bubblegum Glam Band comment above was spot on, but that's about it.  Much heavier than Poison - I think not.  Sure, there's a couple of passable tunes in the bunch, but on the whole they're Poison lite...VERY LITE.
