MI's 84 Tigers Share Gritty Groove-Heavy New Single “Fathom” from forthcoming LP

Michigan Post-hardcore trio 84 Tigers return with “Fathom,” the latest single from their forthcoming sophomore album Nothing Ends, due October 17 via Spartan Records.“‘Fathom’ started as a random riff at the end of a practice,” recalls guitarist/vocalist Mike Reed. “Discordant, abrasive, and fun. It harkens back to something 90s, in the world of Handsome or Quicksand. It’s about running a marathon.” The track serves as the 3rd single from the forthcoming LP, following the previously released singles "Two Rivers' and "The Crush of it All" all streaming below.

Formed by brothers Mike and Ben Reed (Small Brown Bike) and longtime friend Jono Diener (The Swellers), 84 Tigers first broke through with their 2022 debut Time in the Lighthouse. Their widescreen blend of post-hardcore urgency, ’90s alt-rock grit, and melodic hooks quickly earned critical praise from outlets like BrooklynVegan and No Echo. Keep an eye out for the upcoming LP and be sure to check out the latest singles below. Fans of Small Brown Bike, The Casket Lottery, Her Head's on Fire, Hot Water Music, Quicksand and the like will enjoy this stuff.

84 Tigers share new single “Two Rivers” from forthcoming LP featuring Rocky Votolato

Michigan post-hardcore trio 84 Tigers featuring members of Small Brown Bike and The Swellers return with their soaring new single “Two Rivers” featuring acclaimed singer-songwriter Rocky Votolato. The track arrives ahead of the band’s upcoming sophomore album, Nothing Ends, due October 17 via Spartan Records, and follows the band’s recent single “The Crush of It All.”

For guitarist/vocalist Mike Reed, the song carries profound emotional weight. “‘Two Rivers’ is a tribute to Travis Dopp (Small Brown Bike). Some of his lyrics are quoted in the song. When Rocky and I realized that we had both written songs with the word ‘River’ in the title separately, it was cosmic fate that brought him into the song. I had no idea what it would become, but he took it to new heights and I still get choked up when I hear it.”

Check out the latest single below, it's an absolute pummeling ripper, both heavy and melodic, and with a hook-filled chorus that fans of Small Brown Bike, The Casket Lottery, Hot Water Music, Seaweed and the like will absolutely love.

84 Tigers release ripping new single "Regeneration Days (Ft.Aaron Stauffer of Seaweed) from forthcoming LP due Oct 17

Michigan post-hardcore trio 84 Tigers have released their crushing new single “Regeneration Days,” featuring Aaron Stauffer of the legendary ’90s band Seaweed. The track is the latest preview from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, Nothing Ends, out October 17 via Spartan Records.

“‘Regeneration Days’ was one of those songs that came together in a day or two,” says guitarist/vocalist Mike Reed. “I was driving along listening to the demos and the idea of asking Aaron from Seaweed to sing on it popped into my head. I still can’t believe it worked out. Seaweed was a band that I’ve always loved and respected since I first saw them in the mid-90s. So grateful for Aaron to lend his amazing voice to this.”

The collaboration marks a powerful generational link between two eras of melodic post-hardcore—both steeped in urgency, texture, and heart. 84 Tigers’ signature dynamic—equal parts melodic uplift and cathartic grit—finds new depth here, amplified by Stauffer’s unmistakable vocal presence.

Produced by Marc Jacob Hudson, Nothing Ends transforms loss into resilience. From the haunting “Two Rivers” (featuring Rocky Votolato), to the anthemic "The Crush of it All," to the defiant “Fathom” and now “Regeneration Days,” the album traces the band’s journey through grief, growth, and renewal.

Stream all four singles below and be sure to check out the full press release and stream the LP when it drops on October 17th. Fans of Mike Reed's previous work with Small Brown Bike and Able Baker Fox along with bands like The Casket Lottery, Seaweed, Hot Water Music, Polar Bear Club, and Somerset Thrower are going to love this stuff!
