Having released the first single I’ll Be There to rave reviews in May, the second single taken from the EP Something Special was released in August and was immediately added to the New Music Friday UK and The New Alt Spotify playlists.
With four studio albums to their name – most notably The RTÉ Choice Music Prize nominated, Gold selling, Number 1 Album Getting Through – The Riptide Movement are renowned for their phenomenal live shows and soaring, guitar driven, energetic tracks.
They’ve toured extensively throughout the world on the back of critically-acclaimed releases All Works Out, You & I, Elephant in the Room, Changeling andI’ll Be There. The quartet also released an environmentally conscious web series called Plastic Oceans in association with Clean Coasts, which can be streamed from their website www.trm.ie.
Something Special is exactly what the title suggests, it’s an uplifting, energising, guitar driven collection of songs. Co-produced in Attica Studios with the legendary Tommy McLaughlin (Villagers, SOAK )
Speaking about the EP, The Riptide Movement said: “We’re so excited to announce that Something Special, our 5th studio record, will be released on Friday October 4th next.
“It will be released as a 7 track EP on 12″ vinyl and as a 5 track EP on all digital and streaming platforms. This is a really important record for us and we feel it’s one of our best, you’re gonna love it”. So say Mal, JP, Ger and Gar from the band.
