Music hasn’t always been as important to me as it is now. My first CD purchase was in fact the soundtrack to the Phantom Menace (I love me the Star Wars). I wanted to be an actor until the later end of sixth form. School was weird for me as I wanted to be a […]
Here’s Tom’s 2019 Picks so far and this 2019 has been very busy for Alpha Tide so far (with even more busy-ness to come). As you all know we released our debut album at the beginning of December and the lovely Emily joined us to make up a five piece. What’s key as we continue […]

Calm down love we didn’t mean that! It’s the middle of the season of Alpha Tide launching our debut album and one has got to admit, it’s a little strange. Let me tell you why. Alpha Tide has been going for a while now and through many different states with different band members coming and […]
