On this day January 30, 1987, Welsh glam metal band Tigertailz released their debut album, Young and Crazy. While some sources suggest a release date of January 30, 1987, this date isn’t universally confirmed. Regardless, this album marked the arrival of one of the UK’s most flamboyant and energetic glam metal acts.

Young and Crazy showcased Tigertailz’s high-energy style, blending sleazy riffs, catchy hooks, and over-the-top attitude. Featuring songs like Living Without You and Shoot to Kill, the album helped establish them as one of the UK’s answers to bands like Mötley Crüe and Poison.

Fun Fact: This was the only Tigertailz album to feature original vocalist Steevi Jaimz before he was replaced by Kim Hooker for their follow-up album, Bezerk.

Trivia Question: Which US glam metal band was often compared to Tigertailz due to their flashy image and sound?
