Hailing from the sonic underbelly of Tunbridge Wells, THE TIDE AGAINST are a formidable four-piece alternative rock juggernaut. Weaponising the raw, visceral aggression of ’90s grunge and fusing it with the down-tuned, groove-laden weight of ’00s nu-metal, the band delivers a sound that is both a nostalgic gut-punch and a modern awakening. The lineup brings together a powerhouse of seasoned veterans: Jason (Vocals), Simon (Guitar), James (Bass), and Max (Drums). These aren’t newcomers cutting their teeth; they are four battle-tested musicians with years of touring miles clocked across the UK and international stages in previous outfits.

While THE TIDE AGAINST is a fresh banner, the chemistry is instant and volatile. By bleeding their individual histories into a singular sonic assault, they have forged an identity entirely their own. Built on a foundation of monolithic guitar riffs, a relentless, driving rhythm section, and an unapologetic alternative edge, their music is designed to be felt as much as it is heard.

THE TIDE AGAINST are not here to politely ask for room. They are here to claim it. New band. Familiar faces. Absolute authority in the noise.

Nightwave Nexus are a progressive rock/metal band from Ashford, Kent, forged from decades of experience in the UK underground scene.

Formed in 2022 by musicians with roots stretching back to the 90s and previous projects including My Life In The Making, Earshot and (No Hope) Astronaut, Nightwave Nexus bring together technical musicianship, crushing weight and a dark, expansive atmosphere.

Drawing influence from the likes of Tool, Soundgarden, Faith No More and Coheed and Cambria, their music refuses to sit comfortably in a single box. Nightwave Nexus build songs that reward attention — shifting between intricate passages, huge riffs and immersive soundscapes.

Progressive. Atmospheric. Heavy. And unapologetically their own.
