— AJ Maddah, The Phoenix.au

Australia’s electrifying hard rock upstarts THE DREADFUL TIDES have roared onto the scene with the release of their self-titled debut EP and a brand-new single, “Animal Inside.” Combining old-school grit with modern arena-rock power, this five-track beast proves the band isn’t just knocking at the door—they’re kicking it down.

Mixed and mastered by Ricki Rae at Lighthill Sound Recording, this independently released EP delivers a no-filler, all-killer statement of intent from a band hungry to make their mark. “Animal Inside,” the third single, is a primal, riff-heavy anthem dripping with raw energy and blistering hooks. Lyrically, it dives deep into the carnal chaos of human connection—an unapologetic hard rock tale of lust and passion.

Accompanying the single is a throwback-style video, channeling early 2000s rock nostalgia, directed by the visionary Ian Ritter . It’s already turning heads with airplay on Australia’s The Hard Rock Show and beyond, showcasing just how much fun this band has while tearing it up.

EP HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

🔥 “Fire In The Hole”
The thunderous opening track and first single—equal parts anthem and emotional punch. With a hook that’s impossible to shake, the song digs into the struggles of returning soldiers with PTSD, wrapped in a wall of sound that earned TDT the cover of Heavy Magazine #352 and features in Bravewords and Onyx Music Reviews .

🕷️ “Black Widow”
Groove-laden and radio-ready, this second single is pure hard rock seduction, spinning a tale of toxic lust with one of the catchiest choruses in recent memory. A jaw-dropping guitar solo seals the deal, proving TDT can write hits with teeth.

But what about the last two tracks? You’ll need to grab the full EP from their official store to experience the complete sonic onslaught. Trust us—you don’t want to miss them.

MEET THE BAND:

Jimmy Black – Commanding frontman with a dark tenor and scorching upper register, Black prowls the stage like a rock colossus.

Justin Strudwick – A riff wizard with lineage from Dimebag, Zakk, Rhoads, Angus, and Iommi, but his sound is all his own—fresh, fearless, and face-melting.

Wes Hopkins – A bassist whose melodic power fuses the spirit of Geezer and Jaco with the drive of Cliff Williams.

Leland Hallett – A true powerhouse behind the kit, blending classic hard rock flair with modern dynamics and thunderous precision.

THE DREADFUL TIDES LIVE:

Raw. Explosive. Unstoppable. On stage, TDT bring the same thunder you hear on the record—with rave reviews and fan reactions to prove it. Whether opening or headlining, they’re the band you remember.

THE DREADFUL TIDES aren’t here to imitate—they’ve built something new and unforgettable. A band that lives and breathes hard rock, they refuse to be categorized because there is nothing out there quite like them.
