A ‘Blue Moon’ Has Risen! The Howling Tides Release Their Exciting New EP

18th November 2022 0 By Jon Deaux

Dynamic, award-winning, 4-piece hard rockers The Howling Tides release their brand-new, 5-track EP, ‘Blue Moon’, chockful of The ‘Tides trademark visceral energy and tsunami of hard rock sound.

The Howling Tides’ line-up fields: Rob Baynes (lead vocals/guitar); Hayden Kirk (guitar/backing vocals); Adam Brewell (bass/backing vocals); and Steven ‘Herbie’ Herbert (drums).

The band has built their rep and momentum through some powerhouse releases, plus high-profile festival successes at Steelhouse, Planet Rockstock, Rock and Blues and Bloodstock.

As Bloodstock pointed out, “Since they first appeared on the UK music scene in 2018, The Howling Tides have quickly earned a reputation as a ferocious live act who have more in common with The Almighty and The Wildhearts than the young new wave of Classic rock scene. Their high-energy approach is a breath of fresh air to an industry overpopulated with bands that all tend to sound the same.”

Reviewing ‘Blue Moon’, Get Ready To ROCK! found the EP “Confident, assured and most of all, stands up to repeated plays, The Howling Tides have found their mojo,” whilst Rock and Roll Circus called it “A stunning EP… Here’s looking forward to more tunes from a band most definitely on the up.”

The ‘Blue Moon’ EP contains 5 tracks of brand-new music, including The Howling Tides’ single releases ‘Thalia’ and ‘White Crow’. Both singles have enjoyed extensive Spotify streaming success. The track list also includes: ‘Cut Your Losses’, ‘Fortune Never Favoured Me’, and the title track ‘Blue Moon’.

“As a band,” say The ‘Tides, “we really feel that our new EP is the next exciting step in our journey and will help make the statement we really want to make. We feel it’s important to always build on what we’ve done, and because our ethos is to always be comfortable pushing boundaries, we really feel that our newest music is building on the sounds and vibe of our first EP and is pushing it skyward in terms of writing and musicianship. We don’t really want to be the kind of band that just keeps delivering the same song with different lyrics: we feel we have much more to offer… and this is just the start.”

“Recorded at Superfly Studios and mixed and mastered by the one and only Oli Brown (RavenEye, Oli Brown and the Dead Collective), we really couldn’t be prouder for all of you to hear it!”
