RIVAL TIDES: AWESOME UNDERGROUND ★ MUSIC REVIEW #15

This is my underground music review of Rival Tides, a Los Angeles-based rock band that thrives on mixing aggression with positivity. Since forming in November 2012, the five-piece group continues to pour their hearts into their music and live performances to create deeper connections with their fans.

This was one of those magnificent surprises. I had been searching for nearly 3 weeks for a new musical act to love, and this band had fallen in my lap (or onto my Twitter) quite some time ago and I hadn't even noticed. Out of, let's face it, desperation, I decided to go through my Twitter followers to see if there was anything there worth sharing. Surprise! About four artists in I found magic. All I would like to know is where are all of the A&R guys at and what are they doing with their time? Wasting it I guess, because why aren't these guys signed?! Finding musicians like this just makes me want to go take out a gigantic loan and start up my own small label, no joke.

One thing I found that I loved about this band (aside from their amazing sound) is their level of support for artists they believe in. What I found when I stumbled over to their official website was a list of other amazing band, from which I went on to find some of my even greater loves. When I did my video review, I bought the physical copy of their album. I got it in the mail and went on with life, enjoying their music and the music of other bands they had suggested to the world. Later on, I found the envelope that CD had come in, but before I threw it away I checked inside and found a small note I had missed when I received my CD, thanking me personally for my support and saying that they hope I'm enjoying that list of bands (which I had mentioned in my video review). My point is that not only is this a clearly talented band, but also clearly a bunch of great human beings. And trust me, following them on their social media is something you won't regret!
