Album - Lyrics - Reviews
Tribe of Gypsies is the Tribe's first full-length album.
Initially, all lead vocals were recorded with David Young, the Tribe's original singer.
But when Dean Ortega decided to join the band, he re-did all the vocals.
A promo video for We All Bleed Red was shot in London during the Balls To Picasso sessions.
