Crystal Tides

Portsmouth-based indie band Crystal Tides released their dancey single with a soaring chorus, ‘Courtney Love’, earlier this month, the first track from their EP slated for release early next year.

The band comprises Billy Gregory (vocals), Harry Knowles (lead guitar), Joe Knights (drums) and George Regan (bass). Knowles and Gregory met at university and Regan and Gregory used to play together in a former band. They knew Knights having seen him play in another band and essentially poached him. Their name was born out of a desire to capture summer vibes. As Regan puts it: ‘We’re sunshine, sunshine indie, it’s feel good. The name is designed to make you think of summer days and emulate childhood memories.’
