After sending out handwritten cards (adding a charming, personal touch) detailing the debut of their new track Speak on Radio One, High Tyde have been whipping fans into a frenzy of anticipation for their latest single – and it didn’t disappoint.
The Brighton quartet have released a multitude of EPs since they formed in 2012, and Speak is the first offering from their latest EP ‘Real’. It stays true to the band’s roots, soaked in indie-rock goodness with a consistent thumping beat coupled with screeching guitar riffs and powerful vocals. Speak is an intriguing amalgamation of High Tyde’s previous styles and past work, yet it demonstrates how far the band has come with and how much more they have to offer. Despite being young individuals Louis, Spencer, Connor and Cody express maturity and talent well beyond their years and their grasp on songwriting and developing their own unique sound is remarkable.
Speak brings together everything fans have begun to love about High Tyde, and the track conveys the energy and passion that is brought to every High Tyde live performance. It keeps the tropical vibes most songs feature, but also edges towards a darker, rockier side the band has teased with previous tracks. Despite so many elements and sounds throughout Speak; it avoids becoming just a combination of noises with each component adding its own signature style.
High Tyde are constantly releasing brilliant music and if they’re not a band you’re accustomed with then get listening to their vast catalogue of EPs and tracks. After just announcing they are playing the BBC Introducing stage at this year’s Reading and Leeds festival and with the prestigious venues and festivals they have already played, High Tyde are definitely a band to watch. Speak is solid throughout and deserves a spot on every decent summer playlist – and the track is definitely going to quickly become a fan favourite to be played live.
