We talked to them about where their passion for music came from, their new single “A Thousand Lives,” music video for the song, being apart of Vans Warped Tour Erine Ball Battle of the Bands, and upcoming tour.

“A Thousand Lives” was produced with Drew Sullivan in Louisville, KY and written in their home studio in Texas by members Omar Martinez, Guillermo Rodriguez, Jack Strunk, and Jayden Castillon, underscoring their hands-on approach and creative control.

This summer you can catch them on the A Thousand Lives Tour. Joining them on the road will be the Phoenix-based co-headlining band CZYK and the alternative metalcore band Last Night of Solace.

This tour news follows Taken By Tides recent single and music video release of the same name “A Thousand Lives” a song born in the heart of winter while grappling with the loss of someone close to them. Earlier this year the band also put out an explosive single called “Ghost Vibrations,” a cathartic reflection on years of uncertainty and creative hunger.

Riding off their recent releases, Taken By Tides will kick off their tour on June 6th in San Antonio. They will be visiting cities throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California.

Fusing raw emotion with their unmistakably bold, genre-defying sound, Taken By Tides continues to carve a name for themselves in the independent music scene.
