Listen to a track from the 2FM Rising pick for 2019...
Who are they? Formed in 2017, True Tides is the intrepid pop project of Cian, Conor and Eoghan MacSweeney, three brothers from Cork, now living in Dublin. Through a reasonably simple set-up of drums, guitar, bass, electronics and vocals, they create bold and expressive guitar music that's at once shamelessly catchy and sneakily complex. Although the brothers have technically been making music together their whole lives, they played their first gig as True Tides in January 2018 at arts and mental health festival First Fortnight, on a bill curated by All Tvvins.
