Review: Tear Gas, "Piggy Go Getter" and "Tear Gas"
Tear Gas, the Scottish rock outfit, released a pair of albums in the early '70s that vividly highlighted their talents for guitar-based rock. Though the band kept up a rigorous touring schedule, it only really paid off once a few band members joined with Alex Harvey as The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Still, Esoteric's reissues of Piggy Go Getter (in its first-ever official CD release) and its follow up Tear Gas show the band's early promise. The Glasgow-based group originally formed in the
