The Tide
'Put The Cuffs On Me'
In just over a year The Tide have gone from “just normal kids” to one of the hottest new pop acts on the planet.
Now they burst back this Spring with their brand new single 'Put The Cuffs On Me’.
A
sure-fire hit and club tinged banger, 'Put The Cuffs On Me' is a song
inspired by films like Deadpool and Suicide Squad, that delves
into the psychology of madness.
“You
see these villains that are in these shows and you wonder what got them
there,” explains Austin from the band. “What makes them that way?
Obviously it's a girl. If you see a man
go that crazy then he must have lost something big. We were writing
about how when you're angry and hurt like that you just stop caring You start doing all this destructive stuff but in
reality it's not helping you get over it – you're
still in this prison.”
Hailing
from Los Angeles, The Tide are four young rapscallions who
make the sort of guitar-lead power pop that rattles bones and changes
lives. Formed in early 2015, Austin Corini (vocals),
Levi Jones (bass and vocals), Drew Dirksen (guitar and vocals) and Nate
Parker (drums) have already toured arenas across Europe with label
bosses The Vamps (their first ever gig was at the Glasgow Hydro arena),
had a UK iTunes No.1 EP, and are about to kick
off their second headline tour of the UK.
A
product of a new generation, The Tide formed in a very modern way, via a
mix of YouTube, auditions and good old-fashioned chemistry. Drew and
Nate, who were in a band together in Ohio
before The Tide, were spotted by the band's eventual manager on
YouTube. The same manager also spotted Levi doing acoustic covers
on the same website. With Austin already on people's radars via a stint
on The X Factor USA the four were called together to meet
in LA to see if they could work together as a band.
Defiant,
brash and bold, The Tide aren't your typical pop band. Heavily involved
in the songwriting and creation of their music – which has so far been
made with the likes of RedOne,
Josh Wilkinson, Red Triangle and Mike Green – these are four guys who
want to make the best music for their fans, then play the shit out of
those songs at their gigs. Everything else is extra.
“In
five years' time we want to still be making music and doing what we
love,” says Levi. “I'd like us to be humble and grounded still,” adds
Nate. “I'd be proud if we could say we'd
inspired a lot of people,” says Austin. The twinkle in their eyes
suggest that moment's not too far away.
