TIDES AWAY
“Dissimilar” C18
(Self-Released)



To be both incredibly accessible AND extremely abrasive is no easy task.

With Jawbox-esque vocals and a saccharine stock of 90s radio-rock scaffolding, Tides Away crosses over countless boundaries, through their creative employment of captivating boobytraps of electronica, industrial beats, metallic tones, eastern-tinged progressions…wow…at the end of the day, this band is undeniably interesting, even if the genres they’re mixing might not directly appeal to you…and surely they couldn’t ALL…

To be both incredibly accessible AND extremely abrasive is no easy task. That meme about Mountain Dew may apply here. Give this a chance (it’s a short suite) at least two times in a row and you might be surprised at how much each disparate sub-genre blends so satisfyingly with the other and then right into your earholes!
