Winyah

There’s a raw, restless fire at the heart of Winyah’s music – in the crackle of their
guitars, the growl of Thomas Rowland’s voice, and songs that always feel like they’re
chasing something just out of reach. With southern swagger, indie rock bite, and an
unforgettable live show, the South Carolina five-piece are quickly emerging as one of
the most exciting new bands in the country, fueled by high ambitions and the desire to
build a real community – a space where people can feel something, escape, or just be. Having already played Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza and sold out their first headline tour, Winyah are pushing themselves harder than ever – with an upcoming sophomore album that promises more of that same friction, soul, and intentional songwriting that’s carried them this far. They’re dreamers intent on becoming a face of the new rock-and-roll revival, building something meant to be felt – together.

Made up by Elijah Gibbins-Croft, Oey James, and Ian Robles, Foxtide is a byproduct of being bred by the beach and raised by a DIY house show scene. The SoCal three-piece was formed around garage jam sessions and earned their cult following through the intense vitality of their liveshows.

First starting to release music in 2019, it was the band’s second EP Visonsin 2021 that took them from a hometown secret to a band to watch nationally. Foxtide has previously played alongside The Backseat Lovers, Echo & The Bunnymen, Lime Cordiale, Sarah and the Sundays, Mustard Service, Beach Goons, and joined the lineup of Shabang, Nothing Fest, and more.

Moving into the chapter of their next project, Foxtide is abandoning the idea that they need to create “perfect” music, and simply making what they like to listen to. Tinged with the aloofness of early 2000s rock, while experimenting with the formulas of modern pop, all threads are knotted in the authenticity behind Foxtide’s unrelenting love for music. The band's third EP 'Paradise' helped them secure critical looks from Fashionably Early 'Bands that Deserve to be Bigger', Luna Collective Magazine, and their debut LA headline show selling out. Their most recent record earned them the cover of Fashionably Early's playlist as well as their first editorial look from Spotify in 'All New Rock,' and Apple's 'New In Rock' and 'New In Alternative.' On the heels of the deluxe version, the band secured support tours with Arcy Drive, Pity Party Girls Club, and more to be announced.

Foxtide has most recently signed a record deal with Position Music, and is gearing up for their second full length LP.
