High Tyde: A whirlpool of gigs!
I
interviewed the new and upcoming band High Tyde; they are a British indie pop
band originating from Brighton, England Before forming as a band, they had been
friends for awhile. They would all go to their local skate-park to skate and
chat with each other.[2] Louis and
Spencer were originally in a band together.[3] Then Cody
joined during their first band practiced. They become aware of that they would
need another guitar in the band, so that led Connor to be in the band too. Then the band High Tyde was formed in 2012. The band consists of Cody Thomas
which he is the vocals, Connor Cheetham on guitar, Spencer Tobias-Williams also
on guitar and lastly Louis Semlekan-Faith who is the drummer. The ages in this
band range from 18-19; the sound that this band captures is Inspiration from: Two
Door Cinema Club. I got an exclusive interview with the lead singer of this
uprising band: Cody Thomas
How did the band meet?
We meet
through mutual friends at a local skate park, we all went to a bar one day and
started to talk about music had a jam the next day and we couldn’t stop jamming
ever since. “We’ve been going for 5 years now since 2011.
When did you become fascinated in
music?
My dad
bought me a guitar when I was like 7 years old, so then on I realised I had a
passion to at least be involved in music.
Do you have any hobbies you do
besides singing?
I like to
skateboard every now and then with the other members of the band, this hobby is
what brought us together so we tend to continue making a trip down to any skate
parks on this tour.
Have you always wanted to be a
musician?
I don’t know
because you don’t really remember what you wanted to be when you were younger,
I guess I wanted to be a spaceman or some shit, but yeah from what I am aware
of I’ve wanted to be a musician or an icon.
Why did you decide to make indie pop
music?
Because Two
Door Cinema Club’s released an album called tourist history and it kinda took
me back a bit I was like I wanna make an album like that in the future so I did.
What was the first song you’ve
performed in a huge crowd?
Music that
is not our own we performed play that funky music when I was younger in our
local venue, which we went back and headlined at, to perform this EP. The first time we performed one of our
songs was call it; which was in early 2012 at a little bar in Brighton which I
think is shut down now actually.
What’s the biggest festival you have
been involved?
We did
reading in Leeds recently which was insane, but the first European festival we
did was in Valencia which was wicked, I’ve never been there before and was told
that you can’t wear jeans, biggest regret of my life!
When did you release your first EP?
Our official
first ep which was fuzz was released in early 2015, but we released a single in
end of 2014.
Do you guys have any exciting plans
coming up for your fans and where do you see yourselves in 5 years’ time?
