Career
The band was formed when the Vamps announced a secret project in late December 2014 and held auditions for a US 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 (born 26 December 1995) - lead vocals, Drew Dirksen (born 30 September 1996) - lead guitar and backing vocals, Levi Jones (born 21 November 1997) - bass guitar and vocals and Nate Parker (born 26 September 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]
On February 18, 2015, the Vamps announced that they would be taking them on tour. The Tide have so far played shows across Europe in various countries such as Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Ireland for The Vamps UK Arena Tour. The first show of the tour kicked off in Glasgow, Scotland and the last show was in Madrid, Spain[2][3] on 24 March 2016. The Tide toured the United Kingdom August - September 2016, with support acts of New Hope Club (also signed to the Vamps' record label) and Josh Taylor.
