The Tide were a band from Los Angeles, California formed in 2015. They were signed to The Vamps' record label, Steady Records, under EMI Universal. They were the supporting act for The Vamps World Tour 2015, and again in 2016, along with other artists such as Before You Exit (USA leg),
Luke Friend (UK leg), HomeTown (UK leg) and
Union J (UK leg). They also supported The Vamps in 2017.The band was formed when The Vamps announced a secret project in late December 2014 and held auditions for a USA guitarist and drummer aged 18–20 to form a band. Drew and Nate were in a previous pop-punk band called "All the Above" until they were given the offer to move on. The Tide started on February 25, 2015, consisting of 4 members: Austin Corini (
Dec 26, 1995) lead vocals, Drew
Dirksen (
Sept 30, 1996) lead guitar and backing vocals,
Levi Jones (Nov. 21, 1997) bass guitar and vocals and Nate Parker (Sept 26, 1996) drum and backing vocals.1 Like The Vamps, the band started uploading covers on YouTube and gained a number of fans since then.1
